Lunch & Learn: Who Is Responsible for Early Learning and Care? Everyone!

Speakers:
Jennifer Fischer-Summers, Research Assistant, Community-University Partnership for the Study of Children, Youth, and Families (CUP)
Natalie Prytuluk, Director of Early Years, Edmonton Public Schools
Christopher Smith, Associate Executive Director, Muttart Foundation

Summary: An integrated system of high-quality and affordable early learning and care is recognized by EndPovertyEdmonton as a “game changer” for eliminating poverty, and it is also a target heavily supported in the federal budget announced last spring. But where does the responsibility lie for building such a system? Do local governments and school boards have roles to play? Panelists from the Edmonton Council for Early Learning and Care will address these questions and explore possibilities for building a system of early learning and care that will benefit all the children and families who want it.
