Arizona’s child care waitlist now has almost 10,000 kids on it! That’s 10,000 lives on hold due to unaffordable child care! #10000Kids #ChildcareWaitlist
Arizona Parents! DES is opening up the child care assistance wait list! Letters were sent to eligible families on July 11th. Families MUST reply by July 25th in order to reprocess their applications. Don't miss out on this opportunity to access high quality early education!
Thank you to AZECA’S partners and Governor Katie Hobbs for securing $45M in child care assistance funding to help Arizona children and their families access high quality child care!

30% of US children under 13 qualify for a CCDBG subsidy under federal income limits, but only 20% are eligible under state requirements. Strict income thresholds at the state level are often the result of limited resources and other state policy decisions. clasp.org/publications/repor…
There is some really amazing work coming out on how climate change is impacting the development of young children. Check it out!
In collaboration with the @FrameWorksInst and @HarvardCCHANGE, we have launched a new research project designed to investigate the most effective strategies for communicating about the many ways that climate change is affecting early childhood development: bit.ly/3LyBmE3
The crisis is only going to continue to grow unless we do something different!
During a @SenateFinance hearing today, our CEO @FGossGraves emphasized what millions of families and early educators know all too well: our child care crisis sector is in crisis.
But, we also know the solutions that work.
