SUMMARY:Fall 2025 Texas Tour: Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the month of October\, CHILDREN AT RISK will be hosting community conversations across 12 cities in Texas\, discussing the latest research and its implications for Texas’ Early Childhood Education ecosystem.

Comments? Concerns? Reach out to us at rquintanilla@childrenatrisk.org. \n  \nRegister for the stop nearest to you!\nMore details to come soon! Sign up for our Early Childhood Education team’s newsletters to be among the first to hear about updates on our community visits\, the latest research\, and timely advocacy opportunities. \n \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REGISTER FOR A STOP NEAR YOU\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SIGN UP FOR ECE UPDATES\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, October 7th\, 9:30-11:00 AM CT | Lubbock \nLubbock Area United Way: 1655 Main St\, Lubbock Texas 79401 \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				South Plains PowerPoint\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				One-Pager\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday\, October 8th\, 10:00-11:30 AM CT | Midland-Odessa \nGrace Christian: 3450 Billy Hext Rd\, Odessa\, TX 79765 \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Permian Basin PowerPoint\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				One-Pager\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Friday\, October 10th\, 10:00-11:30 AM CT | Houston \nBaker Ripley: 4450 Harrisburg Blvd\, Suite 103\, Houston\, TX 77011 \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Gulf Coast PowerPoint\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				One-Pager\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday\, October 15th\, 9:00-10:30 AM CT | Fort Worth \nNeighborhood Health Center at LVT: 2800 S.
