I truly hope that we will emerge from all of this with a deep appreciation for what child care enables. Thing is without support many child care programs will go out of business. Ask Congress to include #childcare industry in the #covid19 econ stimulus package!
The strain being placed on child care providers, who are already operating on razor thin margins, could force many out of business permanently. Ask Congress to include crucial support for the #childcare industry in the #COVID19 economic stimulus package. ffyf.org/why-it-matters/poli…

New survey from @NAEYC: ~1 in 3 child care providers say "they would not survive a closure of more than two weeks without significant public investment and support". Unlike K-12, child care is not guaranteed to re-open unless we provide support now. tinyurl.com/s4o5zwf

The #childcare system is largely private, made up of individual small business owners. Financing is also largely private-families pay. Without gov't support, the childcare industry, already a crisis in the US, is at high risk. We'll be watching the stimulus packages closely. #ece

In the midst of unprecedented chaos and a disruption to our sense of normal, we have to remember that learning has never required a school building #HipHopEd

#Childcare centers remain open across MI...the sobering reason: The state is weighing the risk of young children being infected against the need for medical professionals & first-responders - so desperately needed - to have somewhere to drop off their kids.bridgemi.com/michigan-health…

One of the hardest questions facing #childcare providers - many of whom already operate on slender margins financially - is this: If they close and parents stop paying tuition, will they ever reopen? Our response to this crisis must secure child care. adn.com/alaska-news/2020/03/…

Disruptions to our everyday routines can be incredibly stressful, but there may be a silver lining: We can continue to promote healthy development and build brains from our homes! Share photos or videos of how you're brain-building. Use #brainbuilding and we'll share it too! 💜

“Studies show children enrolled in quality #earlyed are 50% less likely to require special ed & 29% more likely to graduate from high school. They are 50% less likely to become teen parents & 70% less likely to be arrested for a violent crime by 18.” ukiahdailyjournal.com/2020/0…

#TheBrainArchitects In Ep. 2, Dr. Shonkoff distinguishes #ToxicStress from positive & tolerable stress. "It's not about whether you're experiencing stress, it's about whether there are adults to help you learn how to deal with it & help you feel safe." developingchild.harvard.edu/…

Ms. Joslyn's Head Start class wrapped up their three-week study of books and Eric Carle. What better way to end it than with the book “Pancakes, Pancakes” and making PANCAKES! From plain to chocolate chip and even extra syrupy- they had a sweet time! @ksheadstart @NatlHeadStart
