Earlier this year, Child Care Aware recorded a 3-part webinar series with a focus on equity and racial justice. Presenters addressed the systems where discrimination and inequities exist, while looking for solutions within these systems that can impact the lives of Black children and their families.
The webinars include honest dialogue about fixing the child care system to make it equitable for providers, children and families. If you are interested in viewing any or all of these webinars, links to each recording are included below.
