One athlete called @allysonfelix's #ChildCare grant program "life-changing" because she'll no longer have to choose between motherhood and her sport 👏🔥💯 https://t.co/kung3Wh6mN

“Women are being presented with false choices,” said economist @eliselgould. “You can’t leave your kid home alone and go to work if you don’t have affordable #ChildCare.” https://t.co/AUevEtPKZ9

#ECE / #ChildCare pros, this attitude from outsiders is so accurate it hurts, right? 🥲 "If I can’t land an office job, at least I can always scrape by as the lone arbiter of whether another person’s child lives or dies." https://t.co/wAPu1IqnZd

If you’ve seen our film then you know this hits home… 💔

I quit my teaching job and now make more bartending for 15 less hours week. Also I get blamed for way way less and get told thank you way way more. No lesson plans or grading papers.

Remember this when people ask about the teacher shortage.

Do you have an idea to make a difference in #ECE? @innatepromise can help you make it a reality with their fellowship program! Act fast: App closes July 29th. https://t.co/cWNYW7M3xc

We look forward to the day that #ChildCare subsidies (or employer-provided care!) are considered standard benefits rather than being offered as "perks" by employers desperate to drag workers back into physical offices. https://t.co/7BDhJm4weu

Today, families will begin receiving #childtaxcredit payments: “It’s really giving families the help that they need in the moment to help meet some of their basic needs,” said Mario Cardona, CCAoA. by @Jonnelle for @Reuters #childcare

"#ChildCare supports parents’ ability to head to a construction site or hospital, or focus at a desk, capturing the full potential of Americans to drive our economic growth," so lawmakers must value in the same way they invest in building bridges & roads. https://t.co/Uk3QPF9S8A

Remember when all the schools and daycares closed for like a year and the whole country was like, “Eh, we’ll just let the women deal with that”? I’m gonna be mad about that for a *while*

“You simply can’t charge families enough money (for #ChildCare) to pay a living wage to employees. The math doesn’t work.” https://t.co/9ex1dW63Lz

Check out this cool interactive tool that calculates the true cost of care in your state. It's eye opening to see a dollar amount put on it 👀💲 https://t.co/GeSmKSr1ce

Parenthood isn't partisan: The vast majority of parents — including Republican parents — require some type of #ChildCare outside the home at least some of the time, and for many, high-quality care is out of financial reach. https://t.co/MINUCGGe49

Even the loss of an entire school year may not be grounds for holding kids back a grade, according to some #ECE experts. https://t.co/hX6tWfpnsE

Private child care owners say universal pre-K leaves many families with little choice where to send their children to preschool because cost becomes the determining factor https://t.co/2AQWgvPBDH
