We’re proud to announce that the 9:30 Call turns three years old this week.

Launched in the chaotic early days of the pandemic, the 9:30 Call began as a response to a global emergency. The Call helped early childhood providers across the state connect and keep up with evolving Covid policies.

Since then, the 9:30 Call has grown into a powerful advocacy tool for managing the pandemic and making policy progress for children and families. 9:30 callers have heard from their colleagues as well as from elected officials, policymakers, researchers, advocates, and academics.

Whether you’ve joined the call once or many times, we want to thank you and invite you to join us this week. 

We are spending a few minutes at the start of each of this week’s calls sharing reflections and memories about past speakers and topics.

Visit our 9:30 Call website for additional information about our past and upcoming guest speakers. And sign up for the 9:30 Call to receive the Zoom link for this and future meetings.

You can also find the follow-up materials folder with the chat, slides and attachments from previous calls.
