Join the Nashville Early Education Coalition for a citywide book read of The Daycare Myth, by Dr. Dan Wuori.

This white paper shares findings from a two-year childcare stabilization effort, highlighting the financial realities faced by organizations serving low-income families in Davidson County. With data from 12 community-based providers, it outlines the persistent gap between the cost of quality care and the revenue these centers can generate, as well as the challenges of recruiting and retaining early educators. The report makes the case for sustained public investment as essential to ensuring access to affordable, high-quality early learning for all families- and a stronger future for Nashville.
