Congress Set to Approve Critical Funding Increases for Key Federal Early Childhood Education Programs ffyf.org/congress-set-t…
I keep thinking about the side-by-side of these pieces, which came out within days of each other. I don’t know that the barrier now is knowledge of the problem — we need to have a serious conversation about care as a shared value, as opposed to a private market commodity.
As child care programs struggle with staffing issues there is another problem, empty wait lists. Hard to say what is cause and what is effect but this explores the issue minneapolisfed.org/article/2022/a…
Spoiler alert.... its child care slate.com/human-interest…
NEW STUDY! Our latest Yale-CARES paper, national sample of 81,682 early care & education professionals 2-3 months into pandemic — 46% with potentially diagnosable levels of depression, 67% moderate-high stress, 20% higher asthma rate. Brief thread. 1/10 medicine.yale.edu/childstudy/new…
This is a huge step forward. Many child care workers go without health coverage because parents can't pay enough in tuition for programs to offer insurance.

Take action to urge Congress to reauthorize the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting program ffyf.quorum.us/campaign/42504/
Why does the annual company benefits meeting always leave me feeling like we couldn't have created a more convoluted, expensive system to provide health care if we tried.
Federal investments to #SolveChildCare are critical to bringing down child care costs for working families & ensuring providers are paid a living wage.
Let’s be clear: The Senate’s failure to include #ChildCare in the reconciliation framework is a devastating blow to babies, families, and providers. #ThinkBabiesandAct #SolveChildCare
This is pretty brilliant.

Last night the CT General Assembly increased early childhood funding by $183 million! ADVOCACY WORKS, but it costs money. Please support the Early Childhood Alliance. thegreatgive.org/organizations/… via @GiveGab

Lifting the Revenue Cap would create a dedicated funding stream to support infant-toddler care. In New Britain, there are 11 babies for every licensed infant/toddler care spot. #ChildCareForCT

Enough with calling the work of #childcare professionals “a labor of love.”#Earlychildhood educators rightly find satisfaction in their work. But satisfaction doesn’t replace a living wage. A fulfilling career path and feeding one’s family are not mutually exclusive. Ask doctors.
Canada's Roadmap to Early Learning and Child Care identifies what gov’t must consider as they build a system of child care. Public funding is critical, but money alone won’t bring about the transformative change needed for economic recovery or expansion. bit.ly/3C70f5X

I'm so old, I remember when mainstream Republicans were basically reasonable people with differing views on economics, and not a festering fucktangle of democracy-hating book-banning ball-frying fascist shitweasels
Child care is about more than school readiness, more than economics — access to affordable child care is a question of freedom, of giving parents the chance & the choice to live the lives they determine work best for their family. Supporting families means supporting child care!
According to a January 2022 poll, low wages and lack of benefits have resulted in 81% of providers having staff vacancies, and 57% of them having closed classrooms due to staffing. @GovNedLamont #FixChildCare #ChildCareForCT childcareforct.org/april19 Share & tag your legislators!
