Part Two: A Data Walk for Early Care and Learning Professionals

Supporting Young Children Experiencing Homelessness in Early Childhood

Facilitated by NAEHCY’s Early Childhood Education Committee

Join NAEHCY’s Early Childhood Education Committee and Child Trends for a two-part webinar series focused on strengthening support for young children and families experiencing homelessness.

Child Trends recently conducted a national survey to better understand how early childhood programs across the country are currently supporting children and families experiencing homelessness. Through this interactive data walk, participants will explore preliminary findings and engage in discussion about what the data reveals. Together, we will examine key themes, identify opportunities to strengthen support, and consider strategies for effectively sharing findings to improve services for families.

This two-part series is designed to meet the unique roles and perspectives of professionals across systems.
