The research is clear. Families need paid leave and affordable child care.

On June 9, families like Clara's will bring that message to #StrollingThunder.

Because babies can't wait. Take action.

For Raine's family, Medicaid meant mental health care. SNAP meant food on the table. Head Start meant opportunity. On June 9, families will bring stories like hers to #StrollingThunder and remind policymakers what's at stake. Read her story: https://t.co/jOOLTVsGeb

These babies & their families are speaking to Congress about what it takes to raise a baby right now and what’s missing: affordable food, housing and child care.

Families are doing everything they can for their babies.

Despite rising hardship, 97% of families reported spending the same or more quality time with their child.

They deserve systems and policies that support them in return. Read the report: https://t.co/baPViniJOW

Supporting moms’ mental health supports babies, too. And when babies feel safe and connected, communities are stronger.

You don’t have to be a parent to care. Love babies? Support moms. Believe in Babies.

Stevie’s pregnancy came with anxiety and isolation. No local resources. She made it through. Today, her son Keanu is a thriving toddler. But she knows it could have gone differently.

Believing in babies means standing with families https://t.co/ln4W8P18yv

Head Start started as an 8-week summer experiment in 1965.

61 years later it has served over 40 million children and research shows the benefits carry forward to their kids too.

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, grandmothers and mother figures helping babies feel connected every day. When mothers and caregivers have the mental health support and resources they need, they’re better able to nurture the secure relationships that help young children thrive.

What could be sweeter than these little learners proudly singing If You’re Happy and You Know It?!

Thank you @CFRI1834 for sharing some of your wonderful students—and educators❣️ these kids participated in Strolling Thunder, which calls for better investments in early childhood.

[ZERO TO THREE @ZEROTOTHREE]

Call your Member of Congress and tell them federal investment is urgently needed to keep providers in business, ensure child care professionals are compensated sufficiently, and so families can access affordable, quality care.

[ZERO TO THREE @ZEROTOTHREE]

It's Child Care Provider Appreciation Day. What's one way we can show them appreciation? Advocate for better wages and benefits. Nearly half of all early childhood educators rely on some form of public assistance.
