Have you seen @pbsnewshour's series on child care? https://t.co/gtHAdWhfKI

Our current #EarlyEd system is unsustainable. Families can’t afford the high cost of care. Half of Americans live in a child care desert. And teachers earn poverty-level wages. Now is the time to #SolveChildCare. #WorthyWagesNC #ThinkBabiesNC

@HeartsatPlay Calming the nervous system happens through movement and also by adults validating and accepting children in the moment--not trying to make it all better when kids are distressed-- as that, counterintuitively often increases stress.

Access to child care has always been critical, and that is obvious now more than ever.
