Purpose of Summit:
To leverage the newly-created Early Childhood Business Council, the Summit will bring together business and other community leaders in partnership with early childhood education professionals to create diverse strategies to solve the child care crisis. Invitees will include professionals representing the area’s 400+ early childhood (childcare) programs, along with sector leaders from the health, education, media, philanthropy, government, and social services sectors.
Format:
The Summit will bring delegates representing traditional child care providers and new partners to serve within delegations that will engage in strategic planning breakout groups. Each delegation will represent diverse segments of the community and will be comprised of approximately 10-12 members.
The delegations will meet simultaneously to explore approaches and strategies within the framework of how the community can work together across sectors to address the significant child care (early childhood education) gap in the Pikes Peak Region. To guide them through this process, pre-determined questions will be given to support dialogue.
