Quarter 3: Navigating Cultural Challenges and Opportunities: The Experiences of African Immigrants in the Child Care Business
Join us for an insightful and dynamic forum, Navigating Cultural Challenges and Opportunities: The Experiences of African Immigrants in the Child Care Business, where we explore the unique experiences of African immigrant childcare providers in Minnesota. This forum will highlight the cultural challenges and opportunities they face as they navigate the complexities of running childcare businesses in a diverse and evolving industry.
​
The forum will feature an engaging panel of childcare providers and state officials from the childcare department. These experts will share their personal stories, offer practical insights, and discuss the broader impact of cultural perspectives in the childcare space. This is an opportunity for participants to learn, connect, and gain a deeper understanding of how cultural background influences childcare practices and business operations.
