03-14-2010 - Early Childhood Health, Education, and Care in Hawaii

Join us at Abercrombie for Governor headquarters (Ward Warehouse, 2nd Floor, next door to Kincaid’s) on Tuesday, March 16, 2010, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. for a discussion about early childhood care and education in Hawaii. Attendance is free of charge.

For over a decade Hawaii has been striving to create a comprehensive system of health, education and care for young children (from birth to 5 years of age) and their families. Where have we been and where are we going? What are our triumphs and what are the roadblocks?

Four experts from the field will join Neil Abercrombie in a panel discussion: What we are doing to ensure the well-being of our youngest keiki?  Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and join the discussion.

In addition to Neil Abercrombie, the panelists will be:

* Liz Chun, Good Beginnings Alliance
* Sheri Schonleber, Asst. Prof. of Early Childhood Ed., UH Manoa
* Lora Perry, Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana
* Melodie Vega, Hawaii Careers with Young Children

Please RSVP to Josh Levinson at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or call 589-2237.  

The event will be live-streamed on the web at http://www.neilabercrombie.com/index.php/live/.  Those watching online will be able to submit questions for the panelists.
