This year’s virtual, complimentary program will demonstrate that it's good business to invest in young children. Through diverse experiences, you will hear how starting early matters to all families — regardless of race, background, geography or income.
Special messages will be shared by:
Michelle Obama Former First Lady of the United States
The Former First Lady attributes much of her success to her earliest teachers ─ her parents. Hear Mrs. Obama talk about nurturing the first five years of a child’s development to help them reach their true potential.
Dr. Clinton Boyd, Jr. Postdoctoral Associate, Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity
In his work, and as a father himself, Clinton bears witness to how African American fathers have a unique opportunity to positively influence the trajectory of their children’s development in their communities. Hear how he believes in making systematic change to support fathers and promotes positive parenting practices.
Michelle Morris
Family Support & Community Engagement Manager, Educare Chicago
When the doors of Michelle’s school closed unexpectedly due to the pandemic, Michelle immediately recognized that remote instruction was going to be a challenge for parents. Hear how she and her team developed creative solutions to stay connected to parents and support their new, unfamiliar roles in the home.
Danielle Jordan
Senior Master Teacher, Educare Chicago
For Danielle, each child’s social, emotional development needs demanded more support while they experienced the pandemic and racial unrest. Hear how she brought diversity, inclusion and equity into her classroom with activities that helped her students celebrate their backgrounds, acknowledge their uniqueness and develop confidence.
