During Week of the Young Child — and every week — we encourage you to show your support for early childhood education and educators! #WOYC24 High-quality child care is an investment in Arizona's economy, ensuring children can learn and grow, parents can earn a living and support their families, and communities thrive. But the U.S. Chamber Foundation estimates that child care challenges cause a loss of $1.7 billion annually to Arizona's economy. Check out our website for stories highlighting child care providers across the state who improved their facilities and opened new ones so that more families in their communities could access high-quality child care. https://lnkd.in/gPqFW8fN Arizona Association for the Education of Young Children (AzAEYC) FIRST THINGS FIRST .

As a former Early Childhood Educator, this needs to be top of our mind. Access to high quality childcare is not only the right thing for kids, but it is a huge economic driver in a tight labor market. High quality childcare is incredibly expensive but it does not cover costs. Licensing, materials, training, insurance, suplies and food, benefits, administration…it doesn’t add up. Childcare should not be a business. Similar to public schools, it should be a universal right that we fund as a benefit to our communities - a benefit to our local businesses and industries who need employees. Universal childcare means more people can balance family and work. Income levels will rise. Education levels will rise. And what’s better, is with stable funding, all of our communities large and small will have access to childcare.

"We give all public school children books, teachers, playground equipment, and more without regard to family income. Why do we start means-testing families when it comes to meals? The books, teachers, and playground equipment don’t go a long way if kids are hungry and cannot learn." Almost 90% of New Yorkers supporting free school meals for all. As legislators in Albany finalize next year's budget, I hope they will finally make this hugely popular policy a reality and feed all kids. Read more from Terence Meehan of the Alliance to End Hunger. https://lnkd.in/dpNCnzr8

A new Child Trends factsheet explores if and how families receiving child care subsidies accessed higher quality care following these changes as well as changes to providers’ quality ratings.

Please fight to include community-based child care providers in next year’s School Aid budget that is being finalized this month. Urge your state Representatives and Senators to support continued funding of community-based child care providers as part of the GSRP expansion in the FY2025 state budget. Community-based child care providers are important components in Michigan’s child care system and as providers of the state’s free 4-year-old preschool, the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP). Speak up against a House budget plan that would effectively eliminate GSRP funding for community-based providers. Many won’t be able to afford to stay in business if the House plan mandates this change in current state policy. https://lnkd.in/gVdg-5CX

Most research on access to child care and early education (CCEE) has not accounted for what families search for, prefer, and need. In this video, four parents describe their experiences finding CCEE. Their stories help bring the “Multi-Dimensional Framework of Access to Child Care and Early Education” to life and show how important all four of the dimensions are and how parents think about them when finding care for their children. Watch this preview and click to view the full video. https://buff.ly/48P9nJi
