On November 29, 2023, Tiffany Ferrette, Alycia Hardy, and Alyssa Fortner presented at the 2023 BUILD Initiative Conference in Los Angeles, California. Their session, “Centering Black Families: Equitable Discipline through Improved Data Policies in Child Care,” shared a title with their February 2023 report. Participants heard about the history of Black families navigating child care and early education systems and policy; the racism that underlies these systems and policy; how data plays a role in structuring experiences; state examples of policies mitigating harsh discipline; and recommendations at the state and federal levels.
