Leadership Day Keynote
The Daycare Myth: What We Get Wrong About Early Care and Education (and What We Should Do About It)
Keynote presented by Dan Wuori, Ph. D.
For nearly a century, America’s early childhood policy has been premised on a myth. This falsehood ― which dictates that child care and education are somehow separate and distinct ― not only suboptimizes the most important window into all human development, but costs American taxpayers an untold fortune. It’s time to think differently. Join Dr. Dan Wuori, author of The Daycare Myth and one of the field’s most respected bipartisan policy experts as he makes the case for why the early years matter; why America’s longstanding early childhood policy approach sacrifices the needs of young children in favor of promoting adult employment; and why fixing the problem makes good sense, regardless of your place on the political spectrum.
