Commissioner Laux delivered the luncheon keynote at the Sweeney Center for Public Policy’s New Jersey Conference on Childcare Policy and Early Childhood Education, a gathering of researchers, agency leaders, and advocates focused on strengthening New Jersey’s early childhood systems.

Assistant Commissioner Katrina T. McCombs participated in the panel “Pre K in New Jersey — Building on the Abbott Legacy,” exploring two decades of statewide pre K expansion and what they teach us about scaling quality.

We thank Rowan University and the Sweeney Center for Public Policy, for hosting the event and supporting the state’s goals for expanding high quality preschool opportunities.
