It was an honor to represent @NAEYC at the White House executive order signing ceremony to make #childcare more affordable & accessible, & to support early educators. We need Congress to follow suit with more investment to help families, educators, and the US economy.
Fueled by your collective advocacy, today @POTUS signed a set of executive orders directing federal agencies to improve compensation for early educators & make #childcare more affordable & accessible for families: https://t.co/R36hIWzJIa 1/4
The #InflationReductionAct misses a huge opportunity to fight inflation and #SolveChildCare. Leaving child care out means leaving families, children, and small businesses behind and the economy will suffer. My statement for @NAEYC here:

The conversations I am having w/ #earlychildhood educators deepen what @NAEYC surveys show: the path to #SolveChildCare requires Congress to align the scope of the solution to the depth of the challenge and include #childcare in reconciliation.
For our children, our families, and our communities to thrive, we must include child care in reconciliation. Send a message to Congress: it’s time to #SolveChildCare. https://t.co/AaNIB9HSsI

We mourn deeply for the young children & educators who were killed in a space meant for joy & learning. We grieve with their families, friends & classmates. We offer resources to help children cope with the scourge of gun violence & we work towards a safer, more peaceful future.
Thank you to @AlisonRGriffin of @WhiteBdAdvisor for talking to me for @Forbes on my path to CEO @NAEYC and my priorities for the field. Quality affordable child care is essential for families and educators need our support.

It was a pleasure to talk with @ByEmilyTate at @EdSurge about the state of early childhood education and how I���m approaching my new position as CEO of @NAEYC. Already as I listen to educators, it’s clear how much needs to be done to keep them in the field.
