"We’ve seen over the past year how essential family child care is. We’re the economic driver, the economic engine for communities. We’re the workforce behind the workforce.” Lanette Dumas, @NAFCC

"We are being called to ensure that investing in child care means its affordability and profitability do not continue to be built on the backs of early childhood educators, who are primarily women and women of color." Lucy Recio, @NAEYC

And we early childhood folks? We have ALWAYS known how essential we are. speak OUT about we need to get through this crisis. SPEAK out about our value. Speak out how we CANNOT do excellence if ratios and regs are suspended. @NAEYC @ZEROTOTHREE @BuildUrBounce @youngchildfacts

After 3 years of hard work, it was amazing to witness the 15 members of the #PowerToTheProfession Task Force present the Unifying Framework. We look forward to empowered and inspired educators joining the movement! 💪

This historic moment would not have happened without the thousands of #earlychildhood educators who made sure this was an initiative FOR the profession, powered BY the profession.
This moment is yet another step in our movement for change. Are you in?
