For a century, America’s early childhood policy has been premised on a myth. This falsehood―which dictates that child care and education are somehow separate and distinct―not only suboptimizes the most important window into all human development, but costs American taxpayers an untold fortune. It’s time to think differently. 

TAASPYC is delighted to welcome Dr. Dan Wuori, author of The Daycare Myth: What We Get Wrong About Early Care and Education (and What We Should Do About It), as the opening keynote speaker at our February symposium. With his trademark warmth, humor, and video examples, Dr. Wuori will unpack the "three simple truths" of early development and explore their implications for both classroom practice and public policy. It's a session you won't want to miss!
