For a quarter of a century, Start Early’s Educare Chicago program has stood as a national model for high-quality early childhood education, born from Start Early’s deep commitment to ensuring every young child has access to early learning and care experiences they need to thrive.
To celebrate 25 years of Educare Chicago’s impact, Start Early is hosting a day-long symposium to reflect on the evolution of the comprehensive Educare model and its grounding in family engagement, professional development, high-quality teaching and data-driven improvement.
In addition to the 75 early childhood leaders, researchers, nonprofit changemakers, advocates and those directly impacted by the system that will be joining us in person, we are thrilled to be able to offer the opportunity for advocates nationwide to join us virtually. You’re invited to tune in at any point of the day on Friday, Oct. 3 from 9:30 a.m. – 2:45 p.m. CT to watch keynote speakers and panel discussions that celebrate Educare’s legacy, reflect on its impact and shape the future of early learning transformation.
