Description

What if every child had an equal start in early learning? Georgie Dent, CEO of The Parenthood, makes a powerful case for why every child should have access to high-quality, affordable early childhood education and care, and how failing to provide that risks entrenching disadvantage from the very beginning. 

Georgie unpacks why children who stand to benefit the most from early learning are the ones missing out, what recent reforms mean for families – and the big shift needed in Australia that could make all the difference.
