Sometimes there’s not a good opportunity to learn about an issue in depth.  Lipman Hearne was proud to help the First Five Years Fund create an interactive, multimedia exhibit that informs Hill staff about early education.

Soon the exhibit will go on the road and will assist journalists, business leaders, philanthropists, and others learn about this issue. The exhibit includes sections so that participants will be able to:

• Undertand the science and how early experiences shape the brain.
• Experience what high-quality early education looks like.
• See the results by making virtual visits to example programs.
• Get the ROI by delving into what makes this a smart investment with big returns.
• Test knowledge of the ABCs of major funding streams.
