On Friday, March 28, Think Small hosted a discussion alongside a panel of experts and explored the WeVision EarlyEd initiative’s approach to transforming early care and education (ECE) licensing and quality assurance systems.
Event Highlights:
- Learn more about the approach and why it was developed,
- Understand how Connecticut is using industry-recognized standards in place of state-specific quality ratings,
- Hear early care and education providers share their experiences with the current system and reactions to the proposed approach.
This event offers an opportunity to understand how these innovative ideas could reshape Minnesota’s ECE landscape, creating a system that supports high-quality care and education for all children, while easing the burden on families and providers.
