Inequality in early experiences and education have impacts on long-term socioeconomic success. How can early childhood policies help? The Russell Sage Foundation and the School of Public Affairs at American University will host a discussion featuring co-authors Taryn Morrissey (American University), Ajay Chaudry (New York University), and Christina Weiland (University of Michigan), joined by Miriam Calderon (Oregon’s Early Learning Division) and Melissa Boteach (National Women’s Law Center), to talk about the second edition of their RSF book Cradle to Kindergarten: A New Plan to Combat Inequality. The book presents research on how inequality in early opportunity has life-long consequences and offers an evidence-based approach to expanding access to affordable, high-quality early care and education to all children.
