Here's the truth: CHIPS won’t be successful unless we expand the labor force.
We can’t do that without affordable child care.
That’s why we’re requiring companies that receive funding to tell us how they plan to provide affordable child care for workers. https://t.co/8fTObAkjU7
“They go hand in hand… In order to recruit and retain educators, you have to address compensation. It’s hard to untangle them,” says @CSCCEUCB's Elena Montoya about the main goals of @ACFHHS's new #ECE Workforce Center, via @EdSurge@ByEmilyTate

Home-based child care providers need federal support to keep their doors open. Congress can make a difference for providers before the end of the year by:
🌱 Adding resources to CACFP
🌱 Doubling federal funding through CCDBG

@GaryChambersJr@LaDemos Keep on keeping on Gary!!! I am looking forward to your next chapter!! If there is one good thing that comes out of this is that the Louisiana Democratic Party gets their act together. National dems need to know that before they give money.
