2019 Educational Early Learning Tour Photo Gallery

Early Edge California hosted its 2019 Educational Early Learning Tour this November in Chicago, IL. The 4-day event, focused on quality care for infants and toddlers, brought together a delegation of California-based early childhood education (ECE) stakeholders—including California Assemblymembers Kevin McCarty, Eloise Gomez Reyes, Monique Limón, and Rob Bonta—to gain insight from Illinois’ work in building high-quality Early Learning systems. 

Thanks to partnerships with local organizations including Erikson Institute, Ounce of Prevention Fund, Pritzker Family Foundation, Irving Harris Foundation, and the Carole Robertson Center for Learning, Early Edge designed a valuable learning opportunity which included a number of panels presented by Illinois’ ECE experts as well as several visits to exemplary Early Learning sites, Educare Chicago and the Carole Robertson Center for Learning. 

Learn more about about our tour’s panels focused on infant and toddler care in Illinois.
