SXSW EDU 2021
Future of Work Starts with Caring for the Future
Description:
As parents and caregivers confront the COVID-19 challenge of working amidst disruption of traditional child care, it is clear that early childhood education is at the core of our economic recovery. Despite increased need for child care options, enrollment has declined as families hesitate to send children to large centers and/or prefer to stay closer to home. This session will explore how stakeholders are rethinking child care models in light of COVID-19, and implications for the future.
