[Lisa Fortin]

On Wednesday, December 10, President Obama will kick off an early learning summit at the White House. This effort aims to bring together elected officials, community leaders, and advocates to support investments in high-quality early learning opportunities for young children.

The College of Education's own Jane Squires will be in attendance at the White House!  The COE will be having a watch party for this event, which will be streamed live 7:55 am - 9:25 am PST.  The watch party will be held in HEDCO 230U from 8:00 am - 9:30 am, and refreshments will be served.

During the summit, the President will announce the states and communities that will receive $250 million in Preschool Development Grants and $500 million in Early Head Start Child Care Partnership awards to enhance and expand preschool programs and to improve access to high-quality infant and toddler care in high-need communities. In addition to those grant announcements, the President will also highlight new private sector commitments to expand children's early learning opportunities.
