On Wednesday, Feb. 7, the Jefferson Educational Society and The Erie Community Foundation jointly launched the JES’s Early Childcare Investment Policy Initiative.

This project, made possible by a grant from The Erie Community Foundation, empowered a team of policy experts assembled by the JES and led by Erie-based consultant Court Gould to assess Erie’s childcare challenges and propose recommendations for practical remedies to confront this nationwide crisis with local-level solutions.
Today, the JES is releasing the report, “Positioning Erie to Prosper and Compete: Child Care School for Infants and Toddlers is Key to Future of Workforce and Economy,” which is available on the JES’s website, as well as linked below.

Elana Como, Northwest Institute of Research CEO and JAM Team Foundation President, contributed to this report.
