Childcare for the Future: A Conversation with Morna Ballantyne

Register for the forum here.

About the Forum

Join the Jimmy Pratt Foundation, The Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour and the Association for Early Childhood Educators NL for a conversation on the future of childcare in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Through panels, keynote speakers and small group activities, we will explore childcare as a site for early learning, as a social justice imperative, and as a key element of the care economy. We hope that this will be the first of many events bringing together parents, educators, and other advocates for children and families to shape the future of childcare in Newfoundland and Labrador.
