Much of the conversation around ECE comes in the way of meetings, formal interviews and webinars. The SZCF’s impetus behind launching the Starting at Zero Podcast is to invite the conversation into an intimate setting, perhaps with a cup of coffee in hand. Get to know Jeana Ross and a variety of guests who are in the field, with their hands in the sandbox, doing the work. These relevant, yet casual, discussions will center around the common goal of building an equitable foundation for the successful futures of all children.
