The Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development has had an ongoing
collaboration with United Way, Greater New Orleans to rebuild and
enhance child care post-Katrina. This collaboration has included: 1) travel to
New Orleans to provide support for rebuilding child care
centers, 2) consultation and preparation of a report on universal health care
for child care workers, and 3) travel to Boston for observation of
our affiliated centers and discussions about education and care in these
settings. Join us as we hear from those directly involved in the
rebuilding efforts, as well as from child care professionals in the Boston area.
