OCAEYC supports ECE professionals in their work with children 0-8, and promotes public understanding of issues affecting children and their families.

Our thoughts are with those who are suffering amid the recent devastating attacks in Ukraine. NAEYC has resources to help educators navigate how to support children and families when coping with violence they hear about in the media or closer to home: https://t.co/OFXShpqw2v

We've been waiting for this moment for 50 years @NAEYC #BuildBackBetter #SolveChildCare

[NAEYC @NAEYC]

#BuildBackBetter helps #SolveChildCare by taking the #ECE field away from the scarcity situation we’ve been mired in for so long. It will help parents like Chelsea find and afford #childcare AND help directors like Crystal raise wages for educators. #BothAnd

[NAEYC @NAEYC]

Today, we celebrate a #BuildBackBetter framework that prioritizes a historic $400B investment in #ECE that will lower costs for families & raise wages for educators, transforming #childcare & #preK to be more affordable, stable and high-quality across states and settings.

[NAEYC @NAEYC]

Prior to the pandemic, turnover rate in #ECE programs was estimated to be between 25% and 40%. Now, 81% of NAEYC survey respondents say it is as or more difficult to recruit & retain qualified educators. Read more in the survey report: https://t.co/bI437fP6j1 #SolveChildCare

Know that we need to increase compensation for the #ECE workforce, but not sure how? Our new brief provides recommendations for what states can do with relief funding to increase compensation + lay the groundwork for lasting change. Read the brief here: https://t.co/RRkTW0I6GH

Early childhood is the time to prevent, mitigate ACEs & toxic stress. That’s why CA needs a robust investment in early childhood mental health as part of pandemic recovery. Pls invest $112M of Children & Youth Behavioral Health Initiative in 0-5yrs mental health! @drarambulaAD31

The time is NOW for Congress to value, support, and compensate early educators for their vital & complex work: https://t.co/xD5bpPTzFB

We love to see it.

Together we mourn the loss of eight individuals. We stand with NAEYC and our community in understanding the lasting harm for communities, families, and children.

[NAEYC @NAEYC]

NAEYC mourns the loss of eight people killed in Atlanta last night, including six Asian women. This violence, like all such acts, causes deep and lasting trauma for communities, families, and children. Read our full statement: https://t.co/vX3NglPSme

#Mentalhealth for all ages has been on the minds of many over the past year—which is why we collaborated with @NAEYC to focus our respective journals on the emotional health of infants and toddlers & the adults who care for and educate them. https://t.co/7UMJM6mhup #IECMH #ECE

Congress is currently working to pass a pandemic relief bill that includes $39 billion for child care. Today is the day to let your Members of Congress know that this is essential funding for an essential field: https://t.co/yINNtRJ14m #SaveChildCare

The #COVID pandemic continues to devastate #childcare programs—affecting children, families, & our nation’s economy. Understand the depth of the ongoing crisis & the extreme measures providers are taking to stay open in our NEW survey brief: https://t.co/l8y9i8s6Op #SaveChildCare

[EdSurge @EdSurge]

Turnover was a major problem in child care long before the pandemic. The risks and burdens of COVID-19 have made it all the more difficult to both retain high-quality early childhood professionals and replace those who leave. #ECEVoices #edchat https://t.co/MJdoLMz9xq

[Sesame Street @sesamestreet]

Show your neighbors some love and kindness today by checking in on them. Even if that neighbor is a grouch!
