Child Care Council

A unique organization that works with families, EEC programs, government, community organizations and businesses to promote quality early care and education.

So happy to be back in person with today’s School Age Conference with such dedicated Westchester professionals. Thanks to NYS Network for Youth Success and SADN for helping us pull this off!

[Child Care Council @CCCWNY]

With Empire State Child Care Campaign and leaders in Senate and Assembly calling on Governor Hochul to sign 3 key bills: providing full time care for part time workers, eliminating min wage requirement and starting presumptive eligibility so parents can get to work sooner!

"As much as we have achieved together, we know true change will only come with long-term investment in a universal child care system that fully supports family child care educators and the parents who rely on them every day." - @steveninthebx, @AllOurKin #NYSUniversalChildCare

[Child Care Council @CCCWNY]

Let’s be inspired by Canada’s example and bring high quality, affordable and truly accessible child care to NYS and the US.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Today in Mississauga, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with families to discuss the Early Learning and Child Care Infrastructure Fund, which will support child care providers to continue offering high-quality, affordable, and inclusive child care across the country.

A2a: #NHHMchat #NHHM23 @NAFCC is working to implement a new set of lead prevention accreditation standards - the first of its kind within the family child care field - based on the lead-safe toolkit created by #EcoHealthyChildCare, @NCHH & NAFCC.

At the ECLC Annual Mtg with Lt Gov Delgado, Jabari Brisport, Exec Dir Meredith Chimento and Board Chair Jen Rojas. Great celebration of the hard work done by the child care resource and referral network every day to keep NYS working!

Babies make up 3.4% of the population, but only 1.7% of the federal budget. Read the full analysis + more on why Congress must prioritize investing in babies & their families: https://t.co/EG9y4Z3xjz

Happy #MothersDay!

Make no mistake: moms in Washington state and across the country deserve more than just our thanks—they deserve policies to support them, like affordable child care, the right to make their own health care decisions, paid leave, and so much more.

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Quality, affordable child care is even harder to find for kids with disabilities. Our member Bobbi shares her experience, and our @Nina_0421 discusses solutions in a terrific story by @JackieMader in @hechingerreport #ChildCare4All! https://t.co/RvuBsNOnmz

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

- Paid family leave
- Equal pay
- Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Flowers are nice, but every mother deserves easy access to reproductive and maternal care, universal paid leave, affordable child care and anything else they need to raise happy, healthy babies.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

This #MothersDay, I’m thinking of my mother’s courage. I’m thinking of all the mamas fighting for their families. And I’m staying in the fight for a government that has their backs—from ensuring universal child care and paid leave to protecting reproductive freedom.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

More companies that rely on hourly shift workers are trying to fix the child-care needs of their employees by providing it themselves. So far, few have cracked the code. https://t.co/CMBOWy5yxt

[Council for a Strong America @strongnationUSA]

A lack of affordable, high-quality infant-toddler #childcare creates a two-generation issue for our workforce. Learn more about the workforce of today and tomorrow in @Ready_Nation’s report: https://t.co/lEP3J0dOh6

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

The experts and data are clear – the Child Tax Credit was a life-changing success for working families.

We must reinstate the Child Tax Credit and expand policies like paid family leave and affordable childcare that demonstrably reduce poverty and improve outcomes.

[Child Care Council @CCCWNY]

[Steven Morales @stevenfromthebx]

On my way to Albany on behalf of @AllOurKin to testify at the Senate child care hearing. It’s time for New York to invest in the child care workforce and make child care accessible for all! Follow along here: https://t.co/F6xknQjWmP #NYSUniversalChildCare
