I wonder if the marketplace, which seems to only value innovation, disruption (w/e tf that means) and novelty, has a hard time understanding that there are (presumably) huge opportunities to open childcare centers that pay a living wage and practice the evidence-based methods that already exist. No need for innovation b/c we know what works and how to do it. Boring (not novel) but effectively. Hard to get funding for boring but effective.
Without support, child care centers will struggle to stay open, leaving parents unable to secure affordable, quality child care that allows them to go to work. Without support, child care centers will struggle to hire the early childhood educators they need to care for our youngest constituents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And yet, Congress has still not taken the action needed to end the nation's child care crisis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join us at https://bit.ly/2M9eJpH to see how you can advocate on behalf of babies, toddlers and their families. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read the article by The Washington Post: https://wapo.st/3UrSMI2

Excellent and current explainer of why ECE is so expensive and hard to find. An extension of federal funding similar to ARPA is the only way forward for providers, parents and children.
People who aren't as steeped in #childcare policy and economics often don't understand why our systems are so fragile--and expensive for families. Thankfully, Rebecca Gale and Dianne Kirsch have teamed up again to create this quick explainer, with support from Better Life Lab at New America. We'll be sending this to a ~lot~ of our friends! https://lnkd.in/g_a4FFHV

The current state of childcare is a lose-lose for employers and families alike. On the one hand we have mothers saying: "It’s hard to manage expensive daycare payments with the pay I receive. I wish my job had a daycare center or help with childcare. I have to have my mom take my kids to daycare because I have to be at work before daycare even opens." (Listen to Your Mother's "Working Mothers Speak" 2023 report) And on the other, we have employers reporting significant challenges with retention, turnover, and staffing shortages. It is exciting to see the work of this task force engaging folks from all sectors, and recognizing the important role that employers can play in the solution. We can't wait to see the results! #earlychildhood #workforcedevelopment #childcare

I had the honor of sitting in on an MA Early Education and Child Care Task Force listening session with employers yesterday and here are my big takeaways: 1. It was heartening to see so many folks in powerful positions within our state government clearly articulate the complex problem(s) we are facing within our childcare system, and to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to solving them. 2. This issue is complex and multifaceted. As one person put it so perfectly "the current system is a market failure on all sides - we're failing on supply and demand." And so, as with any complex problem, there is no single solution, and it will take an all hands on deck approach. 3. There are many employers who are up for the challenge and are already doing really important work to move the needle. The opportunities to learn from one another and to innovate are endless. 4. Not only is the need there, but so is the will to make real change here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is an exciting moment in time and I am here for it! Shoutout to some of the amazing individuals in this space that I have the privilege to know who have been doing this work for a long time. Brian Gold Tom Weber Ayesha Cammaerts Kimberly D. Lucas. I can't wait to see what's in store! Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/dR4P2MUt
