This discussion will continue to provide a context for our in-person League Day in Dover on April 8th and legislative action going forward. What is best for our youngest is best for us all.

During this discussion, we’ll examine the crisis facing Delaware over available, affordable, quality options for Early Care & Education (ECE) that benefits our youngest citizens, their families and their communities. Our moderator and panelists will give brief overviews of their specialties, where the greatest impact of this crisis lies, and initiatives they are working on. The panel discussion will close with possible proposals for legislative action that will improve the ECE workforce for all Delaware.

Successful Delaware: Healthy, Housed, and Educated

Join us this spring for League Day 2025, which comprises three Zoom events and one in-person event, all of which will be open to the public. These programs will offer your chance to help Delaware thrive by championing legislative solutions for shortages of healthcare workers, affordable housing and quality early care and education.

Access to affordable housing and early care and education, and accessible healthcare, are foundational for upward mobility and a healthy, economically stable population. When these elements are in place, individuals and families improve their circumstances, and the state attracts a quality workforce. Together, these factors combine to improve economic outcomes for all Delawareans and for the state.

2025 League Day Zoom events offer insights into key priorities in each area, as working experts see them. The in-person event focuses on the legislative opportunities each priority provides.
