On April 25, 2024, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on School Aid and Education released its budget proposal, which excludes community-based organizations and providers within the PreK for All (GSRP) model. This proposal would exacerbate Michigan's child care crisis, negatively impacting families and communities. Join ECIC and partner organizations in urging lawmakers to create a strong mixed-delivery early care and learning system that includes community-based organizations as part of PreK for All in Michigan: https://lnkd.in/dYEbQzUD Learn more about the budget proposal’s impact: https://lnkd.in/eaaZJSyn

Since 2020, Action for Children has been tracking progress on the state of child care in central Ohio and demonstrating how communities can come together on data-informed solutions to the challenges faced. Next week’s forum, hosted by the Columbus Metropolitan Club on February 14th at The Ellis, will focus on the findings from our latest survey report, "The Tipping Point," which brought to light critical issues facing child care providers in central Ohio. In a panel moderated by NBC4 co-anchor, Kerry Charles, Dr. Eric Karolak, and Kara Wente, Director of the Ohio Department of Children and Youth, Aslyne Rodriguez, Director of Government Affairs at the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA), and Carol Haynes, Executive Director of Kiddie Academy, will provide insight on how our region can pave the way towards a more equitable and sustainable future for child care – an initiative beneficial for children, parents, and employers alike.

I agree with this 100%... affordable and accessible child care is needed for all working families who want it. Federal funding, funding, funding = more child care for those who need it! #childcare #federalfunding #MIworkingfamilies #affordablechildcare #accessiblechildcare

Voters want federal funding for affordable child care! Specifically, voters support investments in the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) which helps low-income families afford child care. https://lnkd.in/eJVAUYmS

As the parent of a child in early education I often think to myself, why is it so hard…. To want teachers to be paid well without having my family break its own budget? To make teachers and parents feel rewarded for investing in their kids, not financially cursed? To positively contribute to the overall well-being of educators without having to hurt my family's own financial well-being? For our society to value the investment in young children by setting BOTH teachers and parents up for economic success? For the #appreciation of our teachers to be embedded as a societal value and not just as a value for a week? Why is it so hard to see change in early education? In the affordability of it? In how we invest in teachers? Why is it so hard? It's stressful, frustrating, and sad. We still have so much work to do within this system to give you-teachers, and us-parents, the economic support to have our children and their village the ability to thrive. I thank you for continuing to champion and serve the minds of our young ones. It’s hard, it’s thankless, and it’s one of the most important things you do for our world. #teacherappreciationweek #earlyeducation #childcare #whyisitsohard

Our country’s fragile, underfunded child care system is falling short of what babies, families, and child care providers need to thrive and our economy needs to stay strong. Robust federal funding is needed to prevent the child care system from collapsing entirely, and to strengthen it so that: 👶🏽 All families have access to high-quality programs where and when they need them 👶🏽 Providers are well compensated for their skills and receive the supports that they need 👶🏽 Babies and toddlers arrive at school ready to learn and prepare for future success See how you can help: https://bit.ly/2ICvwAZ

A new blog by Judy Reidt-Parker outlines how recent the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) rule changes will provide a new opportunity to improve families’ access to child care. Child care remains inaccessible and unaffordable for too many families across the country. Ensuring access to high quality child care is an imperative for parents and children, providers, communities and the economy. Making eligibility determination and application process easier and faster for families, leveraging application guide for best practices in benefits application design and processes and clarifying how states can implement presumptive eligibility are some of the ways to utilize the new rule changes. Read more highlights and considerations for state child care leaders and advocates as they update their CCDF plans: https://lnkd.in/gfW4w8gF
