New @CDCMMWR finds Head Start programs successfully implemented #COVID19 CDC guidance for childcare programs that offer in-person learning. Strategies like wearing masks and keeping class sizes small can lower the spread of COVID-19 in childcare settings. bit.ly/MMWR12720

Nationwide #COVID19 is compelling #HeadStart programs to spend $1.7B on new staff, recurring sanitation costs, and facility + transportation adjustments. We need @senatemajldr & @SpeakerPelosi to help provide critical emergency relief: nhsa.org/true-cost #UniteforHeadStart

Head Start has been critical in providing low-income children and families with meals, housing assistance, and educational resources. However, without #COVID19 emergency funding, programs will be forced to stop. Thank you @RepShalala for helping #UniteforHeadStart.

#HeadStart has been doing meal drop-offs, provision of diapers and formula, wellness checks, and connection to telehealth services. In order to maintain this level of dedication to their families, Congress needs to #UniteforHeadStart and provide the $1.7 billion necessary.
