Nearly 300 Peninsula residents participated in a panel discussion and virtual screening of the groundbreaking documentary, No Small Matter, an absorbing film about the power of early learning. Panelists included: Assemblymember Marc Berman, All Five Director Carol Thomsen, First 5 Deputy Director Michelle Blakely, and Build Up for San Mateo County Director Christine Padilla. They were joined by Rachel Giannini, a preschool educator featured in the film. The compelling backdrop provided by No Small Matter, coupled with the reality of current childcare challenges, fueled a lively discussion among the panelists (found in the video above) about early childhood education in California.
