Please join us at this year’s Annual Advocacy Breakfast and hear from a teacher who left the field due to low pay, a passionate educator struggling to stay while making ends meet, and college students weighing a career in childcare. This forum will highlight how low wages and financial strain are driving talented educators out of the profession—threatening the quality and accessibility of early learning for all children.
