A Summit on the Economic Impact of Early Care & Learning<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for attending thread’s<\/strong> 5th Summit on the Economic Impact of Early Care & Learning: Quality Child Care Creates Futures! This event brought together nearly 200 participants including businesses, elected officials, and community leaders for a discussion around the economic and social benefits of early care and learning in Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A strong child care system creates futures. Today’s workforce is supported while tomorrow’s workforce gets a strong foundation for school and life. Families are less stressed. Businesses are more productive. Alaska’s economy grows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, many families in Alaska have limited or no access to quality child care. Businesses are struggling to retain employees that need child care. The child care workforce is struggling to stay in the field because of low wages. Change is necessary, critical \u2014 and attainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To see presentation slides and recordings, open the agenda section below.
