Please join the Office of Early Childhood Development for our monthly webinar series focused on the latest updates from the Biden-Harris Administration on early childhood policy. This is a forum for ACF and federal agency leadership to share progress on implementation of early childhood programs. Hear about how the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) is supporting families and the early childhood community, the Administration’s plans to Build Back Better, and how you can support the country’s recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency. This month’s speakers will include ACF and ED leadership who will discuss how ARPA funding can be used to support the early childhood education workforce. We will also welcome Team, Inc., a Connecticut non-profit program, partnering to implement ARPA child care funding.

Speakers include:

• Katie Hamm Deputy Assistant Secretary for Early Childhood Development, Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD)
• Dr. Ruth Friedman Director, Office of Child Care (OCC)
• Dr. Bernadine Futrell, Director, Office of Head Start (OHS)
• Miriam Calderon, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Early Learning, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, US Department of Education (ED)
• David Morgan and Jamie Peterson, Team, Inc.
