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

While Month of the Young Child has come to a close, we understand that the early child care sector needs sustained commitment. This is why we’re dedicated to doing more than just describing the problem, and instead focusing on reimagining what a future for child care can, and should, look like. Check out the five things we are keeping at the forefront of our minds as we reground ourselves in our commitment to supporting educators, children, and their families: https://lnkd.in/eCJiAKez

Child Care is Bug Business
A decade ago, only a few people would show up to my presentations on child care. Today, this topic draws large crowds, a testament to the rising importance of child care.. I recently had the honor of speaking at the National Conference of State Legislators in Louisville, Kentucky. I participated in a child care panel that was PACKED - a clear sign of how far we’ve come in recognizing and advancing policies for child care. This was my first time attending the conference, and I was truly impressed by the energy and engagement of state elected officials around child care issues. It was inspiring to connect with legislators, staffers, and other stakeholders who are genuinely invested in finding ways to support families and child care professionals. Thank you Jenna Bannon for the invitation and fellow panelists Representative Samara Heavrin (KY), Kelly Klundt (NM Legislative Finance Committee), and Rob Grunewald for their thoughtful insights and information. In Louisville and beyond, the enthusiasm to advance better policies is palpable. It’s time to put child care center stage!

Child care is at a tipping point, and the question for all of us is in which direction will we lean? Come join the discussion in person or online next Wednesday, February 14. Details below.
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.
