Thank you to every lawmaker who listened, and to Pennsylvania Head Start Association for standing with us. If your legislator wasn’t in these photos, they still need to hear from you.

Legislators came to the Capitol Pumpkin Patch today for a photo. They left knowing that eliminating federal @HeadStartgov standards would hurt more than 30,000 Pennsylvania children.

[Pre-K for PA @PreK4PA]

Legislators, stop by the Pre-K Pumpkin Patch today and snap a photo in it. The press conference is at 10:00 a.m., but our table and Pumpkin Patch will be set up until 3:00 p.m. Share your photo and tag us.

Hope to see you there!

Child care providers can now apply for bonuses of at least $540 through the Child Care Staff Recruitment and Retention Program.

Thank you @PaHouseDems, @PAHouseGOP, @PaSenateDems, @PASenateGOP & @GovernorShapiro for including an increase for the program.

A federal proposal would eliminate the standards that make Head Start work, and PA voters aren’t on board. On Oct 21 our Pumpkin Patch heads to the Capitol, and we’ll putthese numbers in front of every legislator who stops for a photo. Voice your support: https://t.co/cy7DtSQamF

Any increase in these early childhood budget lines is a win for providers, families, and the kids who rely on high‑quality care. Support is growing and advocacy is working!

[Pre-K for PA @PreK4PA]

While we’re grateful for the funding included in this year’s budget, there’s still progress to be made. Hundreds of eligible Pennsylvania children are still not receiving Pre‑K Counts services. We have to do better by them.

[Pre-K for PA @PreK4PA]

A $1.043M boost to Head Start may be modest, but it matters. This funding will allow programs to continue providing high‑quality early learning and support the workforce that makes it possible.

Yesterday, leaders highlighted the growing challenges in finding qualified staff to fill essential roles in Erie's child care programs. https://t.co/DVwoR8KucW

[Pre-K for PA @PreK4PA]

PA must continue to make progress in helping more families find and afford the child care and pre-k they need to work. Add your name today to make your voice heard! https://t.co/0OMmoldXmv

An investment in Pre-K Counts teachers means stability for kids. More support for educators leads to stronger classrooms, better resources, and more consistent, high-quality early learning experiences for children.
