A whopping 90% of kids & their families will benefit from the expanded tax credit included in the American Rescue Plan. Starting this month, most families will automatically receive monthly payments up to $300 per child but non-tax-filers must sign up: https://t.co/gORsF5u2vY
The earliest years of life are when the majority of a child’s brain development occurs. Let's ensure all families can access high-quality #childcare and #preschool opportunities that will help their children learn and grow. #SolveChildCare
Thank you to @OregonGovBrown for proclaiming this week the Week of the Young Child in #Oregon! Our children, families, and #ECEeducators rely on your support for high quality early care and education. #WOYC19#ECEwins
It is time for #Orgeon to invest in the proven programs and policies that provide children and families with the supports they need to reach their full potential #ECEmatters#ECEwins
47% of kids 0-5 in Oregon live in low-income households, our state is a child care desert, and we rank 49th in HS graduation. We're grateful to @RepMitchell32 for meeting with voters to learn more about why investments in early childhood are so important. #ECEMatters#ORPol
Yesterday, I read a wonderful version of the classic children’s book “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" & it said “Congress, Congress, what do you see? I see child care for all families.”
I'll keep fighting to make #ChildCare4All a reality & I hope you can join me.
I showed my class the video of Zaina Cahill speaking at the press conference for the reintroduction of the #ChildCare for Working Families Act to highlight how critical it is to have #earlyeducators standing with US Senators & involved in policy! @NAEYC#PPF19@PennAEYC
The child care bear is making its way through Congress to tell lawmakers why we need a comprehensive public investment that delivers on the science of early learning AND advances our current and future workforce #ChildCare4All#ECEwins#PPF19
Thank you, @SenJeffMerkley for signing on as a cosponsor for the Child Care for Working Families Act! Congress, Congress what do you see? We see Child Care for all families! #ChildCare4All#ECEwins#PPF19
