The Daycare Myth by Dr. Dan Wuori | Louisiana Early Ed Month 2025

We are kicking off Louisiana Early Ed Month 2025 with a Keynote Address by Dr. Dan Wuori on Wednesday, February 5 at 10am CST, “The Daycare Myth: What We Get Wrong About Early Care and Education (and What We Should Do About It).
For a century, America’s early childhood policy has been premised on a myth: that child care and education are separate. This misconception undermines the most critical period of brain development and wastes millions of taxpayer dollars every year. It’s time to think differently.
Dr. Dan Wuori is one of America's most respected bipartisan policy authorities, as he makes the case for why the early years matter, why America’s longstanding early childhood policy approach sacrifices the needs of young children, and why fixing the problem makes good sense, regardless of your place on the political spectrum.
Dr. Wouri serves as a strategic advisor on early childhood at The Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation and was the founding director of early learning at The Hunt Institute.
This event is organized by the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children and presented by Entergy. Additional support provided by Jones Walker and Our Lady of the Lake Health.
Produced by Neil Parekh / Digimentors.
