Subject: Lunch on Child Care on Wednesday September 24 - please RSVP

Child Care and Working Families:

Juggling the Needs of Parents and Children

You're invited to our next "Fourth Fridays" lunch

on the Fourth Wednesday, September 24

You’ve seen it on the news: the latest study telling you why child care might be harming kids. If you have a choice, should you try to stay home with your kids or work part-time, or are the type of child care and your child’s experiences at home just as influential as the number of hours your child spends with other caregivers? And how does your child's age influence the pros and cons of childcare?

Perhaps most important for many women, what should you do to help your child have the best possible experience in child care? And the important issue for many advocates: what are the policy implications of the research findings?

Jeanne -Gunn, Ph.D., a professor of Child Development at Columbia University, is one of the foremost experts on the topic. She has been widely quoted -- and misquoted. Come hear her for yourself.

When: Wednesday, September 24, 12:15-1:30 pm

Featuring: Jeanne -Gunn, Ph.D., Professor of Child Development and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Zuckerman, Ph.D., President, National Center for Policy Research (CPR) for Women & Families
