Building Community with State Partners in the Southern Region
An Afternoon with CA’s Early Learning Support Agencies
Join EveryChild California for a Southern Region convening that brings together leaders from the California Department of Education, California Department of Social Services, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, and the Community Care Licensing Division for an informative and forward-looking conversation on California's mixed delivery system for child care and early learning. This afternoon will feature timely policy updates, cross-agency insights, and an outlook on priorities shaping the year ahead—paired with meaningful opportunities to connect.
Designed to foster dialogue and relationship-building, this meeting provides an opportunity to network with state agency partners and fellow EveryChild CA members, thereby strengthening shared understanding, collaboration, and community in support of children, families, and the programs that serve them.
Members, non-members, supporters, and colleagues are invited. If you consider yourself part of the early childhood education community, we invite you to join us! Lunch will be provided.
