Despite the critical brain development that happens in the first three years of life, those doing this essential work are often undervalued and underpaid.

Together, we explore how early childhood professionals can take ownership of their role, shift the culture within their programs, and advocate for a new narrative—one rooted in respect, excellence, and leadership.
