Big news! We are rebranding as #ReimagineChildCare.

Quality child care for infants & toddlers lays the foundation for healthy childhood development. It’s also the backbone of our economy. As NJ recovers from COVID-19, it’s time to think big. Join us at https://t.co/TN1XAihA9B

Every infant and toddler in NJ deserves to start on a level playing field. That means every parent needs access to high-quality, affordable child care.

Emergency child care providers are on the invisible front line of this virus. Despite the service they provide to essential workers, they're being left out of emergency funding measures. https://t.co/yB67J3W9nZ

As caregivers rely on technology to connect with young children at home, there are more questions than ever about screens’ impact at this time. From @zerotothree: the effect of screen media on young children’s learning and development.https://t.co/VCeuLdn9u4

[RightFromtheStartNJ @RightStartNJ]

We’re seeing the concerning state of New Jersey’s child care industry reflected in cities across the country. Do the work to protect child care centers now, so that parents and guardians have access to this essential service when public spaces re-open

[RightFromtheStartNJ @RightStartNJ]

NJ spends over $10,000 per child on preschool, second only to D.C. In terms of access, NJ ranks at 22nd. After #COVID19, we must end the unequal access to early education that creates an achievement gap based on income.

New York is directing significant federal funds towards child care scholarships for income-eligible essential workers. This could be a model for New Jersey, whose essential workers need help.

After weeks of working from home without child care, "perhaps now universal child care will be regarded as a necessity, not some kind of indulgence." A personal look at parents on the brink of burnout by @fmanjoo: https://t.co/OwUIwd7o1V

[RightFromtheStartNJ @RightStartNJ]

Closed child care centers are struggling, as are the providers currently open to children of essential workers. There's not a single day care or home-based provider that hasn't been affected by #COVID19.

They must be protected now and after this crisis.https://t.co/73dIYAjnYp

.@NJAEYC President Meghan Tavormina says, “Imagine trying to get the entire workforce back to work without child care.” You can’t. Child care is an essential industry that powers our economy.

A strong child care industry is critical for the New Jersey economy post-COVID. But child care providers will need government assistance in order to reopen. This plan could be a model for NJ to follow. https://t.co/dA3ZCXa8Pg

[RightFromtheStartNJ @RightStartNJ]

"In 2016, nearly 2 million parents with children age 5 or younger quit their jobs or changed their work arrangements because they had problems getting child care." For a functioning economy post-COVID, all workers need access to affordable child care. https://t.co/Mbbob4Swk0

The CDC has released guidelines for the child care centers now providing emergency services to essential workers. Find info on PPE, tips for parent drop-off and pick-up, and how to screen young children for #COVID19:

Child care is essential. Yet child care providers who struggle to make ends meet in the best of times are now facing the very real threat that they may never be able to reopen after COVID. We cannot allow that to happen. https://t.co/7wJSk1QQ5m

[RightFromtheStartNJ @RightStartNJ]

Health and safety standards for child care centers providing emergency services are vital. For providers and parents alike, see New Jersey’s guidelines for social distancing young children and more amid #COVID19:

#COVID19 is incredibly unsettling, especially for little ones accustomed to their daily routines. Here are a few strategies from @PreschoolToday for surviving with cooped up kids during a pandemic:

[RightFromtheStartNJ @RightStartNJ]

The 600 NJ child care centers currently open for kids of essential workers need assurance that they'll be protected post-#COVID19. We must work now to ensure NJ child care centers emerge from the pandemic stronger than before.
