Join us for The Early Childhood Summit hosted by Strategies for Children, on Thursday, October 16, 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at Mechanics Hall in Worcester, Mass.

This will be our first Early Childhood Summit; it’s a follow-up to Early Childhood Agenda events at the State House in January 2023 and at Polar Park in May 2024.

The summit will be a day of connecting people to people, people to policy, and people to power! 

To help improve early childhood policy development, experts in the field will share their lived experience, knowledge, and best practices. 

You can register for the summit here.

Panel discussions will include: 

• Ages and Stages of Lived Experience
  Hear how people with lived experience are engaging in the process of early childhood systems change in a variety of ways and from different vantage points.
  
• Action Research!
  Help the new Early Childhood Research Consortium implement its vision for action, research, and collaboration with the early childhood community. Bring your questions and creativity.
  
• Together in Worcester: Building a Stronger Early Childhood System
  Learn more about the cross-sector, system change work happening in Worcester and based on the Early Childhood Agenda’s five focus areas.

The Summit is the perfect opportunity to learn, collaborate, and make a difference in the lives of young children across the Commonwealth.

Everyone is welcome, including early childhood professionals, parents, policymakers, and advocates.
