I look forward to presenting this week on how policy and economics shape the future of early care and education at the Oklahoma State University's Center for Family Resilience.

I enjoyed participating in this panel that covered the vital role of family child care and #ECE innovations in KY and NM. Quality early care and education supports child development and parental employment & productivity with a large return on investment for society. #NCSLsummit

[NCSL @NCSLorg]

Yesterday, Erica Phillips from @nafcc, Kelly Klundt from @NMLegislature, @RobGrunewald, and KY State Rep. Samara Heavrin talked about the economics of child care & how legislatures can take bold steps to turn this crisis into an opportunity for affordable child care. #NCSLsummit

Many new child care providers are entering the profession for reasons other than money. A recent survey by the @minneapolisfed explores some of the reasons and the implications for lower-cost child care. #Childcare #AffordableChildcare https://t.co/ZpNvmBMoFV

This week I presented at Children & Nature Network conference on how converting paved schoolyards to nature-filled green schoolyards creates economic value by boosting children’s learning, enhancing environmental sustainability, and supporting community development and health.

Samantha Skenadore, attorney specializing in Indian Law & Policy, member of Ho-Chunk Nation, makes case for Rights of Nature. Rivers, oceans, animals, trees have rights to thrive. Indigenous cultures recognize that living in harmony with nature benefits all, including people.

[Priya C. @priya_cook]

@BrookingsInst former @federalreserve economist @RobGrunewald’s report shows #greenschoolyards benefits likely outweigh cost. How can we fund these at scale to better utilize 2 million acres of community-centered public land under our noses? #ValuingNature

[Think Small @ThinkSmallMN]

Under a “sliding scale” approach being discussed at the Minnesota Legislature, help with child care affordability would be provided according to financial need.

This Children & Nature Network article summarizes "How Green Schoolyards Create Economic Value". Data/analysis from study by @brinklois1 @greatbigsandbox @_autocase. 2000 to 2012, 99 traditional schoolyards were converted to green schoolyards in Denver. https://t.co/OzZ8X3atiz

[Rob Grunewald @RobGrunewald]

Writing this report combined 2 of my favorite topics-education & nature. Converting paved schoolyards to nature-filled green schoolyards creates economic value by boosting children’s learning, environmental sustainability, & community development & health. https://t.co/r1JkKl8jcO

SF 3790/HF 3681 would make quality child care more affordable for many families across the state. What exactly would that look like for children, families, and child care providers? Think Small’s Ericca Maas explains it. #mnleg #GreatStartMN

[Bipartisan Policy Center @BPC_Bipartisan]

#DYK that nine states have no requirements to work in child care as a teacher?

@lksmith1215 and Caroline Osborn discuss the qualifications required to work in child care centers and provide insights into how to make sustainable change. https://t.co/duzxcBL9VN

Our recently announced Spotlight on Childcare will help deepen our understanding of the childcare challenges faced by employers and workers. Exploring barriers to employment is key to fulfilling the Federal Reserve’s maximum #employment mandate. https://t.co/cNt3vsvEhz

[Minnesotans Support Early Learning Scholarships @MN4Scholarships]

We're making progress serving MN's most vulnerable low-inc children, but these 15K left-behind kids must remain our top priority. #mnleg @melissahortman @KariDziedzic @mhwiklund @carlieforhouse @grant_hauschild @LizBoldonMN @davepinto @MaryKunesh9 @ErinMayeQuade @NathanCoulter

https://t.co/PltfIdNRWJ is the place where MN parents can calculate what they would pay under the 7% recommendation AND it also makes it easy to act and let legislators know you care about real change for MN children and families! #mnleg

[Rob Grunewald @RobGrunewald]

In this @BPC_Bipartisan report we address 3 issues to better support AI/AN families: strengthen state & tribal gov relations, serve AI/AN families & tribal members living in urban areas, and use data-driven methods to base tribal & AI/AN federal funding. @lksmith1215 @BarbFabre

[Linda K. Smith @lksmith1215]

This #Thanksgiving, I want to acknowledge the history of tribal nations, including genocide, forced removals, & intense assimilation efforts.

@BPC_Bipartisan offers a new blueprint on how #childcare policy can be designed to strengthen tribal sovereignty.
