On any given day, over 400,000 children are in the U.S. foster care system. A number of environmental and societal factors play a role in these kids being separated from their families, and while children of all races can be found in this system, a disproportionate number of these children are Black. Studies have shown that Black children in foster care experience disparate treatment and significantly higher risk for negative outcomes later in life compared to other children in the system.

Interested in attending the conference! My concern is the increased placement and limited focus on foster children accessing childcare settings or early childhood education! Is anyone interested in this topic or foster care and development outcomes in early childhood settings? I will be able to talk to you.
