Attending @NatlAlliance convening, hearing about progress on workforce registries to help us better understand the needs of the #ECE workforce. #Solvingchildcare starts with understanding and investing in the people caring for our youngest children.
Listening to the powerful story of progress in Minnesota for young children and their families. Amazing the policy change that can happen when the people impacted by the issues are centered in the dialogue and decision-making. #OtherMNStory @ISAIAHMN @communitychange
Game on @Chiefs. Let’s get this party started! #ChiefsKingdom
The @NatlAlliance is coming to Omaha! Find out more about #earlychildhood workforce data, a critical piece to solving #childcare, at this year's conference: tinyurl.com/sk2dtyss
Had the opportunity to hear from @AbbieRaikes and @KidsightsData team yesterday about this important new measure to help us better understand the needs of young children and their families over time. Interesting #rural and #urban differences. #earlychildhood #childcare

Great to see more states embracing outdoor education in #earlychildhood and strategies that give all children access.

I never tire of seeing amazing women who work tirelessly to care for Nebraska’s youngest children and their families get recognized for what they do. Congratulations Kayla and Carime! #EarlyChildhood #champion #childcare

Bottom line from Nebraska survey, “findings remarkable.” Commitment to #childcare is overwhelming, recognize problem is getting worse, and understand that it is necessary to address it for the sake of economy and families. @WeCareforKidsNE
In today’s tele-townhall @FirstFiveNebr Mike Feeken underscores the reasons everyone is impacted by the lack of quality, affordable #childcare. “Everyone depends on someone that depends on childcare.” #solvechildcare @WeCareforKidsNE
On today’s tele-town hall, @NebraskaEarly Chief HR Officer, Dulce Sherman, highlights NECC licensing toolkit to help more #childcare providers to get into the business and get licensed. An amazing resource available at no cost to providers, helping to improve access to care.
According to Claire Brown, The Well-being Partners, the lack of quality, affordable #childcare isn’t just keeping parents out of the workforce, causes them a great deal of stress. It’s time to fix childcare for Nebraska families. #solvechildcare @WeCareforKidsNE @FirstFiveNebr
According to Luke Virgil from Wayne Area #ecodevo, people who want to work can’t because they can’t find quality, affordable #childcare. It’s clear childcare is an economic driver and part of the solution to getting more Nebraskans back to work. @WeCareforKidsNE @FirstFiveNebr
Listening to a preview of findings of statewide survey on today’s tele-town hall. Support among Nebraskans for prioritizing access to quality, affordable #childcare is overwhelming.
