When you think of people who would be natural allies in advocating for the well-being of very young children, who do you think of? Almost certainly you think of other professionals in the early childhood field – child care providers, social workers, pediatricians, child psychologists, etc. But do you ever think about business people or economists? Probably not, and yet economists and members of the business community can be among the most influential and supportive allies the early childhood field is likely to know.
