As part of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, we had the privilege of hearing from early childhood educators and professionals in our community who represented their heritages from Honduras, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. We asked: What does it mean for you, as an educator of Hispanic heritage, to be able to represent the culture in the field of early childhood education? Read their unique perspectives in our blog, "Hispanic Heritage Month: Tales From The Field" here. https://lnkd.in/gTR5eMia

Every day across the country, early childhood educators in all different settings provide joyful learning experiences at the most important time of their growth and development. As a new parent years ago, I relied on the expertise and caring of these professionals to help me best support my boys through the early years. And despite the fact that 90% of the brain development happens before the age of 5, the early childhood workforce is not adequately supported with compensation, benefits, career support or even respect. I am glad to elevate how we can support the workforce that helps children to thrive in this supplement published by USA TODAY. #earlyeducation #childcare

Members of the NAEYC Policy team attended the White House States Convening on Child Care last week, where they had the chance to amplify the importance of investments in the early childhood education profession and the need to build a child care and early learning system that meets the needs of families, educators, and children during a critical time of brain development. We’re excited about the work currently taking place in states across the country to achieve this vision and look forward to continued progress and increased investments both at the state and federal levels.
