About the symposium
Centering Black experiences and expertise, the symposium brings together early childhood professionals, family support providers, community leaders, and others working alongside children and families. Together, we will explore the challenges shaping children’s experiences, learn from community strengths, and identify ways to create more equitable and inclusive environments.
Each morning, participants will hear from featured panelists. In the afternoon, each panelist will facilitate an interactive, 60-minute Community Conversation.
Day one: Understanding the Challenges & Elevating Community Wisdom
We will focus on disability justice and explore how race, disability, and access shape experiences in early childhood settings and systems.
Day two: Turning Community Wisdom into Action: Strengthening Practices, Partnerships and Systems for Children of Color
We will explore culturally responsive approaches, inclusive practices, and partnerships that strengthen support for children and families.
