Working parents of young children are really struggling. As are child care providers. We need to invest in child care as essential infrastructure that lets workers in every other industry do their jobs. #SaveChildCare

All the Zoom meetings in the world aren't an adequate substitute for preschool. There is literally no such thing as online preschool, because so much happens in the relationships between children, and educators and children.

#earlyed teaching is interpersonal. It cannot really be done from afar.

Dr Brian Wright on supporting Black boys in #EarlyEd: Afrocentric cultural characteristics like movement, verve, and expressive individualism. But how these are interpreted affects how boys are viewed. Need anti-deficit language. #EquityinECE #naeycAC
