Talking about bullying can be difficult for everyone. There are many ways to raise the subject of bullying and start the conversation before bullying happens or if you are concerned that it may be happening. Learn more: stopbullying.gov/resources/h… #StopBullying
ALT An educational infographic titled "How to Talk to Kids about Bullying," featuring tips for parents and caregivers on communicating with children about bullying. The image includes a graphic of an adult sitting with a child, both engaging in conversation, surrounded by playful doodles and question marks. Below, the hashtag #STOPBULLYING and the logo of SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) are displayed.

We're excited to join with #childcare providers, stakeholders and @GovLauraKelly's Early Childhood Task Force to discuss strategies for improving the early care and education system in Kansas.
We're excited to be hosting early education stakeholders on June 30, and excited to have the @Hunt_Institute and @DanWuori on board! We hope you can join us and share your thoughts on the future of ECE in Kansas.
As Kansas considers a consolidated early childhood governance model, @Hunt_Institute will be supporting the state with a series of community listening sessions, June 27-30. Looking forward to a chance to meet early childhood stakeholders from across The Sunflower State.

Our nation’s #childcare shortage is putting unnecessary pressure on families. But there are states making progress.
NM and AL offer different blueprints for expanding quality child care.

#HappyBirthdayHeadStart
We hope our friends @tfckc and @KUMedCenter’s Project Eagle had a chance to celebrate today too!
What an amazing way to think about all the benefits of #HeadStart by celebrating a birthday?! Thank you @RepDavids for helping us to do so! 🎉🎉🎉
Today marks 58 years of Head Start programs!
I’m committed to protecting early education programs in Kansas, like @tfckc and @KUMedCenter’s Project Eagle, because students enrolled in Head Start are healthier, have better social skills, & are more likely to graduate high school.
#HappyBirthdayHeadStart! We help KC kids #GetAHeadStart by partnering with amazing #childcare programs, teaching parents to be their child’s teacher, and providing training and support services to area #HeadStart programs. We're proud to be a part of this amazing program.

Stephanie, a #childcare provider in TN, used #ARPA Stabilization Grant funding to offer competitive wages to her staff and keep her program afloat. Without continued funding, Stephanie may have to close her program’s door: hubs.ly/Q01NBszC0 #ece #earlyed #changechildcare
