January 2025 Monthly Update
Happy New Year from the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children!
We are thrilled to share that on Wednesday, February 5th, we will kick off our fourth annual Louisiana Early Ed Month, sponsored by our title sponsor Entergy. Co-hosted with the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), Early Ed Month provides us with an opportunity to reach out to elected officials, business leaders, child care providers, and teachers, as well as families, on the importance of early childhood education to our communities, state, and economy. We are hosting several events throughout February across the state for advocates, parents and families, child care providers, elected officials, and business leaders. These events will highlight and showcase the condition of early childhood education in our state.
Highlights include our keynote speaker, Dr. Dan Wuori, a social media day of action, the 2024 Parent Poll press conference, and the Parent Advocacy Training co-hosted with the Save the Children Action Network. Find the full schedule of events here.
We want to give a special thanks to our other 2025 Early Ed Month sponsors: Our Lady of the Lake, Jones Walker LLP, Agenda for Children, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, Clara’s Little Lambs, Committee of 100 for Economic Development, For Providers by Providers, Gambel Communications, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Company, Louisiana Public Health Institute, ResourceFull Consulting, Save the Children Action Network, United Way of Southeast Louisiana, Urban League of Louisiana, Young Scholar’s Academy, and YWCA Greater Baton Rouge.
