NEW from me: We are at a child care crossroads. Either we will go down the path of making care a right that supports all families, or we will cement it as an employer benefit for the lucky few. We must choose carefully -- while we still have a choice. theatlantic.com/family/archive…

🚨MOMnibus update🚨 Today, the Senate HHS Committee voted 5-0 to support the bill, meaning it will go to the Senate floor with full committee support‼️ This was ONLY possible because of all the incredible NH moms who’ve put their heart and soul into this bill. #NHPolitics

Amid @Ready_Nation @strongnationUSA’s important new child care report are these important findings about families: Nearly 1 in 4 parents (23%) report that they have been fired from a job due to child care challenges. 26% report having quit one.🧵

If you are in child development or mental health fields, then you are familiar with this video. Mothers need access to mental health trtmt, we need to prioritize providing the best care centers for little ones, & we need caregiver education. Opportunities too important to miss!

Congressional leaders suggest the recent increase in funding for the Child Care & Development Block Grant (30% or $1.8B) is enough to provide child care subsidies to 130,000 additional children. But most states have work to do before expanded access is a realistic goal.🧵

A lovely illustration of why “school readiness” must have as much to do with schools being ready for children as with children being ready for school.

1. A year ago, the U.S. came within 1 Senate vote of establishing universal child care. Since then, millions of parents have struggled to secure care, while big chain care companies, backed by Wall Street, thrive nytimes.com/2022/12/16/us/…

Congress simply must find a bipartisan solution. Child care is infrastructure for the American economy. The sooner we treat it as such the better.

The science is clear: Infant-toddler teachers are brain builders, not babysitters. The sooner public policy, training, and compensation catch up with this truth the better.
