Parents are starting to return to work and Congress must ensure the child care industry is still standing for us to do so. We’re counting on you, @SenatorMenendez @SenBooker, to help pass at least $50B in federal funds to #SaveChildCare now. Congress can’t wait any longer

[Cynthia Rice @CyndieRice]

We shouldn’t separate school and child care. Working families need both. https://t.co/xwRYgKo5zu via @bangordailynews @ACNJforKids

“MASLOW BEFORE BLOOM applies to the grown-ups too!”
Thoughts?

We share the world's grief & stand together with our school partners to face systemic racism that impacts Black Americans and people of color. We cannot meet our mission of improving outcomes for all children if we do not radically transform the culture in which we live.

#NJ released plan for #childcare & #daycare reopening during #COVID19 set for June 15 and aligns with @ACNJforKids & @njaeyc recommendations. Great news for our state & #ECE leadership.

Parents, need a way to help children self-regulate while you are working?

📝Try this: Post a visual “Please wait” cue when you are working, along with some materials your child can enjoy while they wait. Post an “I’m ready” cue when you’re available.
