Investing in early care and education is an investment in our community’s future. ACT, the Alexandria Children, Youth and Families Collaborative Commission, and the Bruhn-Morris Family Foundation are partnering to educate and engage the community about the importance of early childhood services for children 0-5. This group is pleased to convene a panel of experts from Virginia and around the country for IMPACT: Early Care & Education - a stimulating and thought-provoking discussion around innovative, systems-based approaches to improving the access to and the quality of early care and education services in our City. Joan Lombardi, Senior Advisor of the Buffet Early Childhood Fund will moderate the discussion featuring distinguished speakers from the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation, National League of Cities Institute for Youth Education and Families, and Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County.
