#DYK? When it comes to the school bus, the greatest risk for children is in approaching or leaving the bus, not riding it. Let's keep our children safe and talk to them about #SchoolBusSafety: buff.ly/2nGZj13

#DYK? The cost of child care for two children, an infant & a 4-year-old, exceeds home mortgage costs in 35 states & D.C., & annual median rental payments in every state. #Childcare is one of the biggest expenses a family faces and can be a barrier to work: buff.ly/2MG6RwN

#VroomTip: Find a small item to pass back and forth and sing a song as you do. As the song ends, whoever has the object does something special or silly. This helps your child practice following rules, taking turns, and self-control. #EarlyLearning #ECE

#VroomTip: Make up a story of surprises. Take turns telling the story and add a few new unexpected twists. By adding surprises to the story, you help your child practice paying attention, remembering, and comparing. #EarlyLearning #Literacy #StoryTime

From early math and reading skills to confidence and resilience, #HeadStart helps children from at-risk communities build the abilities they need. Thank you @Noreenglt for supporting the Head Start belief that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. #UniteforHeadStart
.@SenCoryGardner #UniteforHeadStart Early childhood teachers need higher pay, and we need to serve more infants and toddlers so parents can work and go to school and kids can thrive. Match or increase the House in funding for Head Start!

#VroomTip: Gently touch your child on their head, ears, and hands. As you touch each part, tell them you love it. When your child feels your touch and hears your voice, they're learning new words that will help them learn to communicate. #EarlyLearning

Young children’s imaginations and curiosity engage in ways that are very different from in the classroom. When you learn & teach with inspiration from nature, you open the door to endless possibilities for children and yourself: buff.ly/2DUd70m
