Childcare - It's A Crisis For Every Upper Valley Business
Tuesday Jan 25, 2022
Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at 1:30pm Virtual via Zoom link:
In an effort to address the childcare crisis in the Upper Valley, there are opportunities for businesses and their employees to join workgroups that are forming as a result of the Childcare Symposium held in November. Business voices and expertise, as well as employees' voices as parents, are critically important to these workgroups and to tackling this crisis effectively. Please participate and encourage colleagues to participate. There is a budget for a limited number of stipends for parents to participate; anyone in need of a stipend should contact sjackson@vitalcommunities.org for details.
Date and Time
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST

There will be three work groups meeting at different times. While each group has its own goals, all will be working toward the broader goal of increasing the availability and affordability of high quality early care and education in the Upper Valley, with a particular focus on infant/toddler care as a crucial and longstanding unmet need in ECE services.
Advocacy: First meeting is Tuesday, January 25 at 1:30 pm; click here to connect to the meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/
Goal - Create an exchange of successful advocacy policies and strategies that increase high quality availability and affordability in each state and engage Upper Valley businesses in bi-state advocacy.
Co-Facilitators (temporary, until the workgroup decides who the co-facilitators should be):
Sara Kobylenski (communitySLK@gmail.com)
Brooke Couch Freeland (brooke@couchfoundation.org)
