Intro

In the Season 3 premiere of The Love Connection, we explore how decades of policy have shaped and often overlooked Family, Friend, and Neighbor care. Host Rowena Kamo is joined by longtime research consultant Fran Kipnis to uncover the systemic biases baked into legislation, funding structures, and quality measures in early childhood education. Fran challenges us to rethink what quality and equity truly mean in childcare. This episode sets the stage for a season focused on amplifying FFN voices.
