This volume marks Voices of Practitioners' 17th year as an online journal.
For the past year, early childhood educators have been bombarded by overlapping crises: the pandemic, a renewed national recognition of persistent racial inequities, economic hardships, deep political divisions, and environmental degradation that is reaching a tipping point. These crises have demanded that those educating and caring for young children adapt in unprecedented ways. In this collection, we invited practitioners to reflect on what they are learning while educating young children during these crises.
