So proud to announce the passage of AB1113 after 2 years! A HUGE thank you to @AsmKevinMcCarty for authoring this bill and @CASpeakerRivas for getting it across the finish line!🤩 Thank you for continuously prioritizing kids and families who depend on #expandedlearning programs!

[CA Afterschool Advocacy Alliance @SaveAfterschlCa]

Thank you to our Senate champions for supporting AB1113 and getting it officially passed - this will help strengthen ELO-P for the next decade and protect #afterschool programs for kids + families! @ilike_mike @MoniqueLimonCA @JoshNewmanCA👏

Thank you @AsmVillapudua, @IsraelLanda2, and Kristina for hosting our class from Stockton; the kids loved it!

📢CA's child care providers are in crisis. Poverty wages & hiring shortage (they go together!):

"The average wage of a #ChildCare provider is $18/hr. We have an urgency here that really cannot be underscored enough." - @uscdonna16 of @CCRC4KIDS at #CABudget Sub 2&3 hearing.

@Stocktonopolis I’m sorry to hear about Mr. Saelee. Each spring, we eagerly wait for them to open. A kind and resilient family- from the fire to the hailstorm that wiped out their farm one year. They also grow the best strawberries I’ve ever had. Sending our respect and love to his family💜🍓

"The pandemic shed a bright light on something we already knew: The traditional school day is not enough to serve the whole child." Read more in @EdSource from @partnr4childrn's Co-CEO @jgundy14 & @woodcraftranger's Julee Brooks. https://t.co/E8fZBoTTUf

@ChildrenNow I’m so sorry to hear about Josefina. Condolences to her family and community

[YMCA San Diego @YMCASanDiego]

This weekend our #YMCA Expanded Learning Program (ELP) brought the #Escondido community together at Central Elementary for an unforgettable #DíadelosMuertos celebration, complete with mesmerizing cultural dances, heartfelt altars and sweet pan de muerto (bread of the dead). 💀

[Partnership for Children & Youth @partnr4childrn]

The regular school day isn’t nearly enough time for #learning. That’s why we must keep the #LightsOnAfterschool (and before) for #ExpandedLearning programs that illuminate learning, spark possibilities, and nurture growth that happens beyond the bell. @afterschool4all

[Jen Dietrich @jdietrich7]

Thank you @AsmArambula, Supt. Cantwell-Copher @FresnoCoss, Supt. Davis @CentralUSD, & @CaTeachFellows - your leadership and partnership make a huge impact on the kids and families across the community!
