Panel One: The Power of Schools for Early Learning

Expanding early learning and child care programs as part of public education optimizes existing infrastructure and recognizes early learning as a public good. Schools exist in all communities and can provide a hub of learning and family support activities. The panelists will share an overview of the status of early learning and child care across Canada and how schools are responding to the opportunities provided by CWELCC.
