[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Did you see the crayon I'm wearing to #SOTU today?

Great—now that I have your attention, I want to talk about how child care is a serious and urgent economic crisis.

Child care has to be a top priority this Congress.

[Dan Wuori @DanWuori]

What percentage of their pay are parents willing to devote to childcare costs before leaving the workforce altogether?

Nearly half of parents with young children would consider quitting once that figure hit 25% according to new polling data. https://t.co/FJc0xqS7Q6

[Neighborhood Villages Action Fund @NVActionFund]

Our child care system was built on the backs of Black women. As we kick off #BlackHistoryMonth it's important to recognize and acknowledge that the history of the child care profession is rooted in enslaved Black women caring for white children.

[Delaware AEYC @deaeyc]

Expanding the number of child care subsidies available to families will remain an empty promise if there isn’t a workforce available to staff classrooms. @KyleEvansGay @lauraviviana65 @RodelDE @JohnCarneyDE @DEDeptofEd @bethanyhalllong

[The Hunt Institute @Hunt_Institute]

“In many states, parents are paying more for child care than for their mortgages or even for in-state college tuition."

This will lead to more than $30M added to the state budget in the last 2 years to support our most vulnerable children & families to access childcare & begin an equitable path to education & increase family eligibility for childcare. https://t.co/8uGiLRA5h5

Tag an educator who empowers you to make a change in the ECE space.

[Delaware AEYC @deaeyc]

The #childcarecrisis is NOT new. It’s just been ignored for decades. @JessGrose continues to highlight the crisis. Working moms and women’s gifted labor (childcare) have been acceptable sacrificial offerings silently supporting economy stability. https://t.co/rp9v3vYkzq

[Delaware AEYC @deaeyc]

No matter how hard we work to improve outcomes for all children & families, unless we remove systems that work against the success of some communities no change will happen. Communities don’t need to be saved, they need to be freed. #allianceconnect2022

[Dan Wuori @DanWuori]

Student:teacher ratios can impact the quality of K-12 education. But for infants and toddlers they can be a matter of life and death. The deregulation of child care safety standards is not the way to resolve the industry’s fundamental economic challenges.

Fund early education starting at birth. Provide holistic care starting before birth. Then test scores will go up.

[Dan Wuori @DanWuori]

A reminder for those poring over today’s NAEP scores: We will never meaningfully improve 4th grade achievement until we acknowledge that both math & literacy find their roots in the years PRIOR to school entry (which, for a 9-year-old, is more than 50% of one’s lifespan). 🧵

[Delaware AEYC @deaeyc]

We teamed up with @delawarecares to see where candidates stand on the issues that matter to Delaware children and families. These candidates stood with 100% of those priorities.
