Join a Common Start Virtual Roundtable Discussion in March/April

From late March through April, members of the Common Start Coalition will host a series of virtual roundtable discussions to examine the state of early education and care in 2023 and discuss exactly how the Common Start agenda of high-quality, affordable early education and child care for all would help parents, rural communities, early educators, family child care providers, and other groups affected by the state’s ongoing child care crisis.

Join us to hear about the experiences of our coalition’s diverse stakeholders and how legislation being considered on Beacon Hill this session would address issues such as family affordability, care during non-traditional hours, educator pay, and the sustainability of funding for providers.
