2026 Institute Event: Standing at the Sightline

Join us for a day of sight, where we navigate the lines between observation and measurement, local practice and systemic design, and imagine a child care system built for both perspective and understanding. At the sightlines, we take in the full view, observing the experiences of children, while tracing how those experiences are shaped by policies and systems. Here, every detail matters: what we see in homes and communities informs the way we measure quality, and the way we measure quality shapes how children experience play.
