What are cities doing to support early learning, not only among children in institutional care settings, but also among children who receive care in more informal settings from relatives, friends, and neighbors? Speakers on this audioconference will discuss implementation of state policies at the local level, strategies to reach families of diverse cultural and economic backgrounds, and options for funding school readiness initiatives.

Panelists: 

• Miriam Long, deputy mayor for education, youth and families, City of Los Angeles, Calif.
• Betty Emarita, strategic management consultant and president, Development and Training Resources, Minneapolis, Minn.
• Amy O'Leary, director, Massachusetts Early Education for All Campaign, Boston, Mass.
