[Minnesotans Support Early Learning Scholarships @MN4Scholarships]

#ParentAware supports early educators speaking a diverse array of languages.

In MN, providers speaking Hmong, Somali, Spanish, sign lang & other are much more likely to be rated than English-speaking early educators.

More work to do, but outreach is working! #mnleg @GovTimWalz

We are thrilled @GovTimWalz is prioritizing our youngest Minnesotans. We believe access to opportunity is created when we conspire together to ensure the success of children & families – @AcooaEllis and @almulholland4, co-chairs of @MinneMinds https://t.co/dYwr4IS4uG

House Speaker Hortman said if the Legislature can’t suspend the rules they will continue to work through the weekend - into Sat and Sun. Daudt said he would not support suspending the rules, thinks at least 3 days are needed to fully consider bills. #MNleg

Amanda from Nashwauk, MN shares experience with early childhood scholarships which helps children have access to high-quality early learning opportunities & also help parents and the state economy. Urge your legislator to expand early childhood funding.

More than 33,000 MN children are unable to access high-quality early learning programs. Time to eliminate our state’s opportunity gaps help families join the workforce & help our economy grow. Urge your legislator to expand early childhood funding now. #OurChildrenMN #MNLeg
