Invitation to attend screening and panel discussion of ‘No Small Matter,’ a documentary about early childhood education

All are invited to attend an upcoming showing of “No Small Matter.”

According to www.nosmallmatter.com, “Our future depends on our youngest citizens. On how many words they hear in their first months of life. On how often they are held. On the kinds of experiences they have. Yet even with business interests, scholars and politicians on both sides of the aisle lining up to support the early childhood education cause, millions of American children are still not getting the care they need to succeed – or even to keep up. And while it’s the poorest children who are most vulnerable, middle class families are increasingly feeling the squeeze, as the cost of quality child care soars. So why, when the importance of quality early care and education is so widely accepted, do we continue to fail so many? ‘No Small Matter’ is a feature-length documentary film and national engagement campaign that brings public attention to this vital question by sharing powerful stories and stunning truths about the human capacity for early intelligence and the potential for quality early care and education to benefit America’s social and economic future.”

A viewing of the documentary will take place on Sept. 24 at Hollywood Palms Cinema, WestRidge Court in Naperville. There will be a reception, remarks, screening and panel discussion. For more information, and to register, go to https://tinyurl.com/NoSmallMatter2019.
