TODAY: Tell your Democratic Senators to include funding for #childcare in reconciliation!
The #earlylearning and care system is in crisis. Parents can’t afford the high cost of care and providers are struggling to make ends meet. Take Action!

We mourn deeply for the young children & educators who were killed in a space meant for joy & learning. We grieve with their families, friends & classmates. We offer resources to help children cope with the scourge of gun violence & we work towards a safer, more peaceful future.

The Native Language Preservation Strategy funded by the #FTFHualapai Tribe regional council provides opportunities for families and children to understand their own culture, language and connection to their tribal community. Learn more:
A new children’s book in the #Hualapai language is designed to support families’ efforts to teach the language at an early age as a way to preserve culture and identity. #FTFHualapai Tribe Region funds this effort, giving parents tools to help their kids. firstthingsfirst.org/2022/03…

We have had one full year to witness #ARPinAction & are so proud of all the ways that states & educators are using relief funds to stabilize the essential #childcare sector that anchors America’s economy and recovery.

#ARP kept #childcare programs open. It helped raise wages for #ECE educators. It allowed providers to pay back debt they had taken on in the course of the pandemic. It helped more families become eligible for assistance. naeyc.org/pandemic-surveys

The families of as many as 4 million AZ children under the age of 17 are at risk of missing out on an expanded federal Child Tax Credit. There is no minimum income requirement, so even families with no ea rned income are eligible for the full credit.

“The early years are important because the support and surroundings a child has during this time will shape them into the person they will be when they’re older— mentally and emotionally.”

Today, we celebrate a #BuildBackBetter framework that prioritizes a historic $400B investment in #ECE that will lower costs for families & raise wages for educators, transforming #childcare & #preK to be more affordable, stable and high-quality across states and settings.
