Celebrate the 50th Anniversary
of “Week of the Young Child”
with Starting at Zero
By Sandra Rojas for Cinemacy
This week kicks off the 50th anniversary
of “Week of the Young Child”—a tradition
started in 1971 by NAEYC to recognize the
importance of early learning, young children,
their teachers, families, and communities.
The debate about ways to enhance our
system of education often lacks voices to
represent our youngest learners. Our concern
about increasing test scores for school-age
children and similar standards of evaluation
fails to shed light on the conversation we
really should be having, and that is the attention
to the earliest years. In the documentary
Starting at Zero: Reimagining Education in
America, director Willa Kammerer effectively
highlights this too often neglected topic in
a powerful way.
We see this movement begin to take shape
at the top levels as Governors from states like
Montana, North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi
and most notably Alabama, collectively
recognize that our future depends on our
ability to meet the needs of young children
by providing consistent high-quality education
experiences before they start kindergarten.
Most importantly, however, is understanding
what that education looks like.
We quickly learn that, of all the states in
our nation, Alabama is a shining star, leading
the nation as an example of how to prioritize
and embrace quality early learning. The collaboration
they have established between the
public, private, and business sectors to achieve
this common goal is beyond impressive. The
results of their efforts over the years continue
to reflect indisputable positive results, and
we should all be taking notes.
As an early childhood educator for over
25 years, I found this documentary to be
more than inspiring. It really captures the
essence of what a quality early education
looks like, which is not just learning A-B-C’s.
Starting at Zero reminds us all that, if we
want to foster creative, collaborative, socially
responsible individuals, we need to find a
way to give all children a safe environment
with high-quality teachers, so they can play,
learn, create, laugh and eventually make
a positive impact in the world. To watch

Mattel Hosts Special Event
for Residents
The Mattel Toy Store is hosting a private
shopping event for all of El Segundo residents
on April 22, from 11am-2pm. Shop
and receive 30% off on all regular priced
items. Mattel Toy Store is located at 333
Continental Blvd., El Segundo.
Attention Spectrum Customers
Spectrum has given its customers a very small
notice of a very big change to its terms and services.
Spectrum has changed its billing policy for
phone and internet services without giving
proper notice. Since January 2021, no matter
when you cancel your phone or internet service,
you will be charged for the entire month. One
day over into the next pay period, you will be
charged for a full month of services. Spectrum
has provided notice of this change only on
your December 2020 invoice. This billing
policy change is not reflected on any subsequent
invoices or their website under “terms
and conditions.” For the year ended December
31, 2020, Spectrum’s revenue of $48.1 billion
increased by 5.1% year-over-year. In 2021 they
decide to what appears to be similar to price
gouging their customers during a pandemic? •
An image of the non-descript notice on a December2020 invoice to announce Spectrum’s momentous decision that affects all its
customers. There is nothing “consistent” here and nothing in their “terms and conditions” on their website as of April 6, 2021.
