Men & women organize and watch "Expect Male Involvement"
We showed the Expect Male Involvement video at Housatonic during the Week of the Young Child sponsored by the ECE Program at the college and the Fairfield County (CT) AEYC. About 50 people showed up, which was a smaller number than events held during that week in the last couple of years, but decent. There were 18 men in attendance which I thought was a huge success - virtually all of them were childcare workers or ECE students. The open discussion after the showing of the video was lively but supportive.

What's happening with men in child care in California, USA
In California, we have been working to increase the participation of men in early care and education. The California Association for the Education of Young Children (CAEYC) has for several years now, had a committee on Men In Child Care. I am the current chair of this committee. 
What's this?
