January is Early Childhood Education Awareness Month at the YWCA of Minneapolis!
We believe that all Minnesota children deserve quality, affordable early childhood education. Join us! Throughout the month you can take advantage of information and activities aimed at exploring early childhood education as a human right.
Starting January 7, you will have the opportunity to win prizes as you increase your knowledge about early childhood education. Watch for the policy quiz at each Health & Fitness site. Fill out your answer card for a chance to win each week!
On January 11 we invite you to march with the Children’s Centers as we raise awareness for early childhood education. Phillips, Abbott, Midtown, and Downtown will hold marches simultaneously at 10am. (Please check in with the people wearing orange scarves when you arrive)
Join us on January 23 for a panel discussion on Early Childhood Education as a Human Right. This panel will be held at the Downtown facility from 12-1:30pm. Experts from Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights and ChildCare WORKS! will lead the panel and discuss action steps.
At any time, please contact your legislators and urge them to make early childhood education a priority!
