Season 2 Episode 11: Day One Early Learning Community with Geraldine Laybourne & Julie Riess

What if we began thinking of our earliest childhood educators as brain architects? What if we transform the concept of "childcare" by empowering our teachers so that we can scaffold a child's learning experience to foster creativity, curiosity, and excitement about learning?  

This week's episode features Geraldine Laybourne, Founder of Nickelodeon, and Julie Riess, Director of Vassar College’s early childhood laboratory schools, who have joined forces as Co-Founders of DAY ONE Early Learning Community. DAY ONE is an organization with a mission to revitalize Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County by investing in our youngest, supporting workforce development, parent empowerment, and early childhood learning.
