Description

You are invited to a special screening of the film No Small Matter exploring Early Childhood Education. 40 percent of children in Pinellas County are not kindergarten-ready.* Research has shown that kindergarten readiness has a profound impact on a child’s future success. A strong foundation in the early years leads to better outcomes for children, such as improved test scores and greater high school graduation rates. Kindergarten readiness provides children with the opportunity to build relationships and gain the confidence to thrive socially and in school settings. Hear from a panel of local experts as they discuss the implications of COVID and the Great Resignation on the Pinellas childcare industry and its impact on the future of Pinellas.
