Description

Join Ulster Univeristy's Professor Victoria Simms for an engaging discussion with Dr Dan Wuori on The Daycare Myth.

This provocative book explains why the early years matter, how approach in the USA sacrifices children's needs for adult employment, and why reform makes sense for everyone, regardless of political stance.

With practical guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and parents, this book is a wakeup call for transforming the USA’s early childhood landscape. Don't miss this opportunity to envision a better future for our children.

This event will be held in the Conor Lecture Theatre.
