I'm the parent of a 9yo disabled child whose IEP for the past 6 years has guaranteed him the support of a dedicated aide all day, every day.

It's what he needs to access the curriculum and it's what he deserves.

I don't know what to do and I'm not alone. https://t.co/1VWmWnJZ7k

Addressing limitations in this study, we are currently analyzing data from our longitudinal study where we (1) have more info about circumstances around post-birth leave (2) lab-based infant outcomes and (3) measures of mechanisms (cortisol) & infant brain function (EEG)! (8/8)

*NEW DATA ALERT* We compiled all public spending on children from 1997-2016, including spending on education, income security, health, and more. Please share widely and let @jbixleri @ellielauds and I @urbaninstitute know of any questions! https://t.co/Ptxr9u7unY

What can we learn about equitable access from the nation's largest-scale #PreK program? Thrilled to share the first findings from our #DC #PreK study with @GraceLuetmer Carina Chien @TomasEMonarrez @urbaninstitute: https://t.co/p3GBr84XYU.

I have a new column out today with Taryn Morrissey from @AmericanU laying out the likely long-term consequences of the developing child care crisis. Without child care, many more Millennial women are stepping out of the labor force than men
https://t.co/i9qOA2OlqY

[CAP Early Childhood @CAPEarlyEd]

⚠️FACT: Millennial mothers are nearly 3X more likely than Millennial fathers to name child care closures as the main reason they are unable to work. This could set their labor force participation back by decades. #SaveChildCare https://t.co/85yChC1Hlo

Right now, Congress is negotiating the next relief package. We likely won't see another before November. This is it. We need them to ensure at least $50B to #SaveChildCare so more providers like @RixaMarie, from our #ChildCareDeserts issue brief, don't close permanently.

[Ai-jen Poo @aijenpoo]

This is the week to call your members of Congress to #SaveChildCare. Congress must ensure at least $50B is included for child care in the final version of this next relief package to prevent disastrous setbacks to racial, gender, and economic equity for families & caregivers.

[CAP Early Childhood @CAPEarlyEd]

🚨ATTN!! Is your Senator from one of the following states?

-IA
-CO
-AZ
-NC
-TX
-ME
-OH

Ask them to weigh in with Congressional leadership TODAY to ask them to go higher than the $15B proposed for child care in this next relief package. #SaveChildCare https://t.co/PWABhfTnzz

NEW: The pandemic has forced the child care industry to the brink of collapse and it's especially dire for infants and toddlers.

#ChildCareDeserts analysis shows licensed child care serves less than 25% of children under three. #SaveChildCare https://t.co/cPd0vo2L1G

[CAP Early Childhood @CAPEarlyEd]

🧵If you weren’t already curious about the #ChildCareDeserts crisis for children ages 0-2, you should be.

More than 80% of counties in a new @CAPEarlyEd study would be classified as an infant and toddler child care desert. #SaveChildCare https://t.co/WOiSj0cDia

.@CAPEarlyEd highlights first hand testimonies from @ASTHVITweets to illustrate how #HomeVisiting is helping families throughout the pandemic.

Our ask for Congress? Fund home visiting. https://t.co/bc3U1DzNzT

[daphna bassok @daphnabassok]

“I feel that the government and city leaders included/considered K-12 schools during this pandemic, but failed us and left out early childhood as if we didn’t matter.” The words child care teachers wrote in on our surveys highlight the urgency. Sharing just a few.

#SaveChildCare ANNOUNCEMENT📢

@CAPEarlyEd and @FFYF found that 86% of all voters show overwhelming support for a federal child care stabilization fund.

Our main takeaway: #ChildCareIsEssential and the public wants it funded. More👉https://t.co/z5CoU1QZqB

[CAP Early Childhood @CAPEarlyEd]

"The impact of losing child care due to the pandemic is likely to be far worse than simply having inadequate care before the crisis hit."

Providing at least $50B to #SaveChildCare would provide just over five months of emergency relief for providers.

Home visitors are a key support to families with young children—especially in times of great stress. Share this story with Congress and call on them to support #homevisiting in the safest way possible throughout the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/oKgkzPtkrT #ThinkBabies

As Trump administration officials visit #PuertoRico this week, @fdejesusfebles and I are here to remind you how this admin continually and intentionally works to keep Puerto Rico from any chance of rebuilding their economy and infrastructure.

Don't miss the amazing lineup for this Thursday's event! Join @CAPEarlyEd and @NAEYC Thursday at 12pm EST as we lift up child care as essential and listen to providers share their #COVID19 stories.

Let’s call on Congress to #SaveChildCare. RSVP 👇https://t.co/jAHumNm8oM

[CAP Early Childhood @CAPEarlyEd]

Today marks a week since jobs data came out showing that more than 1/3 of all child care jobs were lost. Yesterday, we joined providers, parents, advocates and allies calling on Congress to substantially #FundChildCare in the #HEROESAct.

We're hoping Congress listens.
