Virtual Child Care Town Hall: Share your views on the state and challenges of early learning with local legislators and the ELC

As our local state legislators enter into the 2022 Florida Legislative season, we want to share with them the changes and challenges facing the early learning industry after COVID-19. Early learning providers can have their voices heard by our state legislators before the Legislative Session starts.

Who should attend? Early learning/child care small business owner, directors, educators who want to share their thoughts, concerns, suggestions related to early learning and/or the impact of COVID-19 on their program, staff/educators, and families. 
 
Who will be listening? The Early Learning Coalition has invited all local legislators (Representatives and Senators) to attend this event. We have received several commitments from legislators to attend. The ELC understands how unpredictable Legislator schedules can be during this time of year and will have their staff in attendance to record and pass along comments to legislators not in attendance.
