Happy second anniversary to The 9:30 Call.Â
After the pandemic hit, Strategies for Children set up the 9:30 Call on Zoom as a fast, easy way for the early education field to share, well, everything, from government updates to coping strategies to fears.
Over time, the list of 9:30 Call attendees grew. Guest speakers logged on, including former Commissioner of Early Education and Care Samantha Aigner-Treworgy, State Representative Alice Peisch (D-Wellesley), and State Senator Jason Lewis (D-Winchester).
Even better, members of the early education and care field from across Massachusetts could talk to each other every morning.
Last week, participants on the 9:30 Call talked about – drumroll — the 9:30 Call, producing a word cloud that sums up the amazing power of connecting through conversations.
Now even as the pandemic wanes (hopefully), the 9:30 call will continue. Sign up here to join us, Monday through Thursday every week at, yes, 9:30 a.m.
As we’ve discovered there’s so much that meaningful conversations can accomplish.
So, here’s to another year of calls and to making daily connections with the inspiring and resilient early education and care community here in Massachusetts.
