No One is Coming to Save Us
No One Is Coming to Save Us, the hit mini-series from Lemonada Media, is back as a weekly podcast covering America’s childcare crisis and the people of all ages who are crushed by it. Access to early education and care determines a kid’s future. Every Thursday, veteran reporter Gloria Riviera examines what’s broken in the system and how we can work together to fix it. Presented by Neighborhood Villages.
Neighborhood Villages envisions a future where all families can access affordable, high-quality early education and care. In service of this vision, we advocate for early education and care policy reform and implement innovative, scalable solutions that address the biggest challenges facing early education and care providers and the families who rely on them.
