Annabelle Godwin Play Day | May 14, 2016
For three hours on a Saturday morning last May, over 7,000 children and families learned through play with activities led by early childhood educators and community partners. In an effort to promote literacy, and its importance to a child’s lifetime success, each child went home with an age appropriate book. Additionally, families received a bag of fresh fruits and vegetables. Thanks to a donation from The Honest Company, we distributed everyday necessities such as diapers, wipes, cleaning supplies and soaps to our local community.

This year marked our 25th annual conversation regarding the challenges and opportunities related to early care and education. Over 200 community members and child development professionals were present as Councilmember Bob Blumenfield addressed the City of Los Angeles’ Minimum Wage Ordinance. Dr. Michael Olenick served as moderator for the child care provider’s perspective panel regarding how these changing rates could impact child care. In honor of her dedication to the children and families of California, State Senator Carol Liu was presented with the Helping Everyone Achieve Real Tomorrows (H.E.A.R.T) award.
