Early Childhood Hits the Airwaves
Over the last several years, we have helped create and support KPCC’s Early Childhood Education and Development beat with a seven-year, $401,250 grant.
Because of our support award winning journalists – first Deepa Fernandes and now Priska Neely – have spent hours in homes, classrooms, and nonprofit organizations to gain a better understanding of how our early childcare system is preparing children to succeed and thrive. Their journalism has had meaningful engagement with community leaders: people at the organizational level who are running programs and teaching and caring for children. Among the stories covered, these journalists have explored the dwindling number of licensed home day cares, the staggering fact that black infants die at twice the rate of white infants, and provided answers from experts to the questions of every parents and caregivers.
