This! 🔥
If a nation is measured by how it treats its children, the state of our union is shameful. @ChildDefender's new #StateofAmericasChildren report makes it clear that too many of our kids are without the basic building blocks they need to thrive. #ProtectKids childrensdefense.org/the-sta…

Child care is too expensive. More expensive than college. And too hard to find. Kids, parents and business lose out.
Please share this video and your child care stories using #ChildCare4All. @WAHouseDems and @WASenDemocrats
want to hear from you! #waleg

With $2.4 billion more for the Child Care Development Block Grant #CCDBG, Congress can help #EarlyEd programs improve their quality & deliver on the promise of #EarlyLearning. It’s time to #FundChildCare! Check out this video explaining CCDBG: bit.ly/31mWHXS

So happy to join @amprog, @clasp_dc, @firstfiveyears, @naeyc, @natlheadstart, @nwlc & @scactionnetwork to urge the Senate to #FundChildCare and #UniteforHeadStart. Let your Senators know where you stand: bit.ly/2HVBtro #ThinkBabiesandAct

The prohibitive cost of #ChildCare in America is one reason why infant-and-toddler care issues have such a negative impact on our economy, costing our nation #57Billion every year. More information here: strongnation.org/articles/78… #ChildCareCrisis
Too many families across the country struggle to afford #ChildCare. On average, infant care in a center costs more than in-state college tuition in 33 states!
Congress needs to #FundChildCare!

"We found ourselves in a Catch-22: we weren’t able to afford the high-quality #childcare our [daughter] needed, but couldn’t manage on one income." - #StrollingThunder parent @CameronPerillo on why she's urging her Members of Congress to #ThinkBabiesandAct heraldnet.com/opinion/commen…

Minutes ago, the Oregon Senate said #YesOnStudentSuccess, passing historic investments in kids, including early childhood programs and services. Thank you to the many teachers, parents, and child care providers who spoke out in support of this bill! #StudentSuccessAct #ORPol

Thank you #waleg
Have you heard? The WA CAN Act (HB1344) passed both the WA State House & Senate. If @GovInslee signs it into law, it sets the state on a path toward increased access to high-quality #childcare while also helping to make it more affordable for #workingfamilies. Thank you #waleg!

As #EarlyEd remains a bipartisan issue, the director of @BPC_Bipartisan urges Congress to reach across the aisle to develop policy approaches that can support healthy early childhood development for the good of the country. bit.ly/2W42uPq

In WA, #childcare costs for 1 infant are 51% of the state med. income for a single mom-not sustainable. Kids need quality care, parents need work, employers need reliable employees & we all need a good economy. It all works when child care does. #EarlyEdChat #childcare4all #waleg
