SPEAKERS:
Ben Melson, Manager, Education Policy, Greater Houston Partnership

Affordable child care continues to be a growing challenge for working families. Throughout the Cy-Fair area, we can observe an abundance of private child care centers; however, many programs remain out of reach for local families due to cost and distance, and the quality of care and education remain questionable. This panel will discuss innovative ways we can address the growing child care crisis from a policy and business perspective and ensure opportunities for an early education are available for all.
