Congress is expected to take a final vote today or tomorrow that threatens access to health care, food assistance, and quality education for millions of children, families, and educators. 🚨Take action TODAY: https://t.co/AiXyYLjpJS

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Thank you @RepAshleyHinson for meeting with child care leaders from Iowa at the @NAEYC public policy forum. #naeycppf

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Thank you @SenThomTillis for the great work your team is doing to listen to and support early childhood educators from North Carolina here for @NAEYCs policy forum. #naeycppf

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Thank you @PattyMurray for meeting with and listening to our Washington State advocates and being a steadfast champion for early childhood education and educators. #naeyc #naeycppf

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Are you an early childhood educator or someone who works with educators? If so, please take a moment to respond to and share the latest @NAEYC #ECE workforce survey, which will help us provide policymakers and advocates valuable insights into the field. https://t.co/G2KjP7rQDY

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Thanks @CBSNews for ensuring that candidates discussed #childcare during last night’s #VPdebate. Elections represent a critical opportunity to lift up the importance of early childhood education. Visit https://t.co/0IYErHuyBG to make sure you are ready to vote and elevate #ece

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Excited to represent @NAEYC at the @amprog Education Summit tomorrow to talk about building equitable systems to support quality and accountability in education from ECE through higher ed. There’s still time to register to join the conversation! https://t.co/v4q2OXqfnW

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Our team at @NAEYC has an updated resource out today explaining how harmful deregulation exacerbates child care supply challenges!

[NAEYC @NAEYC]

What are the costs of deregulating #childcare?

•decreased supply
•increased turnover
• higher insurance costs
•compromised safety for children & educators

Check out our updated brief for more information: https://t.co/fF5GJNr9K6

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

I’ve had so many conversations with early educators in DC about how transformative the Pay Equity Fund has been in their lives. These proposed cuts will devastate these educators and directly harm the families and young children who rely on high quality child care in DC. Shameful

[Under 3 DC @Under3DC]

.@MayorBowser's proposed FY25 budget decimates the #childcare sector with massive, multi-year cuts to subsidies for families, and permanently eliminates the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund and HealthCare4ChildCare. Read our statement: https://t.co/Xl7Gk78o9j #Under3DC

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

And I’m honored to be joining @SecCardona and education leaders across the country at the #SAVE day of action to amplify the impact of the most affordable income driven loan repayment program in history.

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Proud that @NAEYC is partnering with the Administration to highlight the #SAVEPlan for early childhood educators, many of whom qualify for low or $0 monthly payments under this plan.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

#DYK? Qualifying borrowers enrolled in the #SAVEPlan are eligible for total forgiveness in 10 years instead of 20 or 25 years of payments as previously required.

Thrilled that the funding bills on tap in Congress include much needed increases for key child care and early learning programs. Thank you @PattyMurray and colleagues for prioritizing the needs of young children, families and early educators!

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

I’ve made clear child care is a top priority for just about every family and must also be a top priority for Congress—and I fought hard to get $1 billion more in the government funding bills to lower families’ child care costs and support Head Start. https://t.co/qGpO0bUF9h

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Thank you@vaaeyc for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your conference this week! Always inspiring to be surrounded by early educators and leaders who are working every day to build a strong future for our youngest children and families!

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Glad to see that @POTUS is continuing to champion an expansive, high-quality child care and early learning system. His FY25 budget proposal invests $600b over 10yrs to build a system that works for families, educators, and children. https://t.co/mJ2Vc3pDWW

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

@POTUS talked about raising teacher pay in his #SOTU2024. Let’s make sure that early childhood educators serving children during their foundational years of rapid brain development are included in that conversation too.

[Daniel Hains @HainsDaniel]

Thank you @VP and @POTUS for your continued work to elevate and support the needs of early childhood educators! Our latest @NAEYC survey shows the needs in the field are still great, and this will help. Now we need Congress to take action to #fundchildcare https://t.co/G2KjP7riOq

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Today, I am proud to announce that President Biden and I are lowering the cost of child care for more than 100,000 working families who receive federal child care assistance.

This is another step towards ensuring that every family can access affordable, high-quality child care.

[NAEYC @NAEYC]

Our newest Early Childhood Education workforce survey captures the challenges the field is facing in the wake of child care stabilization funding expiring.

Read our national brief and find your state specific survey data! https://t.co/C21gaSYq6y

"We are not okay" - The theme of US child care.

@NAEYC brings us a new round of provider surveys showcasing the real experiences of providers, educators, & parents trying to get by in a system that simply does not work. Congress, where you at?
