Held January meeting with Erin Hogeboom, Director of SD for Every Child and Co-lead of the Children First Collective, a group focused on quality, affordable childcare for every family that wants and needs it in SD County. Discussed the childcare crises in SD county which should become a local league issue for emphasis. There was also a discussion about Transitional Kindergarten which is now in all schools in the District but is not working well.
Several committee members went to see "Clarissa's Battle" a film about the fight for local childcare funding in Alameda County through the experience of Clarissa Doutherd, the Executive Director of Parent Voices Oakland. The film provides a blueprint for how we might pursue securing local funding here in San Diego to support our childcare infrastructure.
