Dear Friend,

We’re thrilled to invite you to our virtual Spring 2022 Texas Tour! The CHILDREN AT RISK Early Childhood Education team will be hosting virtual meetings with ECE stakeholders across the state this April to share findings from our latest report, The Quest for Equity and Quality: Examining Provider Experiences and Participation in Texas Rising Star.

We will also be reviewing our work groups' strategic plan in preparation for the 88th legislative session. Over the past few months, our work groups have been meeting monthly to conduct deep dive discussions to further develop the specific aspects needed to expand sustainable, quality child care.

We will use your insight to respond to interim charges and develop policy recommendations for future legislative sessions. Your expertise is vital to help shape the future of children in Texas.  

We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your valuable input the help shape Texas child care for the better! 

- The Early Childhood Education Team
