 For too long, childcare's profound contributions, particularly to the economy, have been underappreciated. In 2024, the JES deployed a team of experts to address the child-care crisis in Erie, Pennsylvania. Over six months, the experts provided key insights at both the local and national levels, culminating in the August report: "Positioning Erie to Prosper and Compete: Child Care School for Infants and Toddlers is Key to Future of Workforce and Economy."  Elana Como, who leads the Early Learning Resource Center in Region 1 and 2, will discuss the report's findings and explore why they are vital for residents of Corry, Pennsylvania, and the future of their workforce and economy.
