Setting a child up for success throughout their life starts at their earliest ages. Early learning experiences, including those that build foundational math and literacy skills and nurture relationships, are indicators of lifelong success and wellbeing. While early learning investment has slowly grown in recent years, equity gaps continue to persist, including gaps in access to quality early learning and the lack of diverse early childhood researchers, providers, and leaders. Within these gaps lie the largest opportunities for innovation in the sector.
Join leaders from Imagine Worldwide, ParentPowered, and Promise Venture Studios as they dive into the different perspectives that they are each taking to develop approaches that advance equity within early learning across the globe—from US to Africa. During the session, they’ll pull from their experiences in leading effective solutions—from building up leaders of color in the sector to tailoring family engagement through technology-driven lessons to using software to educate the most hard-to-reach learners. They will share lessons learned in ensuring that innovation doesn’t come at the expense of equity and the roadblocks to avoid on the path to unlocking the transformative, widespread power of education.
