Because major child-care reforms have failed to pass, politicians are nudging employers to provide child-care benefits, perhaps thinking that something is better than nothing. But @ehaspel argues that this is like handing out umbrellas in a hurricane: theatlantic.com/family/archive…
There's a reason we don't run K-12 education through employers. There's a reason running health insurance through employers has been a disaster. Why would we think it's a good idea to do so with child care? theatlantic.com/family/archive…
During the pandemic, Congress invested in child care to stabilize the system and provide much-needed relief to both parents and providers. But the child care crisis is far from over. Thank you @HELPCmteDems for focusing on the need to #SolveChildCare.

LIVE: Every family in America deserves high quality, affordable child care and every child care worker deserves a livable wage. The HELP Committee is holding a hearing NOW on how we can make that a reality. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Child care -- early years, before/after-school, summer -- should be free. It's all learning. It's all care. It's all a work support for parents. IMO, it is increasingly difficult to square supporting free K-12 public ed and not free child care. ny.chalkbeat.org/2023/5/24/2373…

Fresh off two calls yesterday explaining the state budget to child care center directors and family child care owners and tired of coming back to them with huge hypothetical wins for families that won't mean a thing because they still won't be able to pay their staff enough.
Just can't get excited for any child care wins that don't include huge and permanent money for wages at this point. Raise eligibility as much as you want but as long as you refuse to pay people adequately to do the work nobody is going to feel like anything has gotten better.

Thank you to @rosadelauro for knowing that care is important for every stage of life, every aspect of our economy and livelihood. #carecantwait
Thank you Congresswoman @rosadelauro, for supporting #CareCantWait! "As we all know, care is at the center of families. That has been my north star. That is what has motivated me to work on policies that improve the lives of children and families."
Folks, please refrain from using the term “daycare.” The industry norm is #childcare bc implies that something is happening in the environment to help a child develop and grow. Something more than basic housing! Carry On!
These providers are essential businesses that support childhood development & keep our economy running. There are a number of initiatives underway to address this, including a proposal eliminating fees on special permits for childcare centers, easing the burden on the businesses.
Vermont is getting serious about building a child care system that works for families, child care providers and employers. sevendaysvt.com/vermont/fixing…
Childcare is unaffordable everywhere in the country, consuming at the least 8% of families' incomes to as much as 47% for families in the Bronx dol.gov/sites/dolgov/f…
.@somavasaha asks, How much of our work is about changing the direction of a down escalator so everyone can move up, vs. helping people move up the down escalator? #AllianceCONNECT22
Much gratitude to Kate Ritter and team at @FundOurKids !! Thanks for helping @CAHS_org and @CTECA understand what the actual cost of providing early care and education in CT might be! So helpful! #Allianceapplause
