Join us as we reflect on the following questions:

• As California continues to deal with a historic recession and budget crisis, what are the opportunities and challenges we face in building and improving our child care and early learning system?
• How did California’s child care, preschool, and after-school programs fare in the 2009 legislative session?
• How might national policy initiatives help children and families in California?
• What is the vision for our state’s system for child care and early learning - and what are our next steps?

Why a Webinar?
CCRWF hosts the California Working Families Policy Summit, an in-depth policy development process that supports advocates in identifying and refining their policy priorities. These recommendations are released at a major event in Sacramento that helps launch the legislative session and provides information to help educate legislative, state, local and nonprofit leaders.
Our Working Families Webinars extend the in-depth conversations that characterize dialogue at the Summit and provide leaders another platform for problem solving and collaboration.
