In D.C. on Thursday: Event on Child Care in Race to the Top

As trusty readers know, a certain federal grant program has been occupying our minds lately – the Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge. We’ve published posts about how the program will work, what it is missing, how it compares to the original Race to the Top and much more.

This Thursday we’re hosting an event here in Washington, D.C. with New America’s Workforce and Family Program to provide additional depth and talk about the Race to the Top’s potential for spurring innovation in the realm of childcare. Details below. Please RSVP. We’d love to see you. (A live-stream video of the event will be available here.)
