Child care is infrastructure. This historic bill wouldn't have been possible without the support of Oregon's child care providers, @Oregon_AFSCME, @Childinst, @familyforward, and many other key stakeholders. Onward! koin.com/news/oregon/gov-bro…

Preschool teachers are valued educators, but for too long, their work has been undervalued. When we create the best universal preschool program this county has ever seen, we will make sure preschool teachers and assistants are paid a living wage.

Our inequitable early education system means that not all kids have the same opportunity to be ready for kindergarten. #PreschoolForAll is a plan to fix that. Because every child in our community deserves a high-quality preschool education.

The #PaycheckProtectionProgram has provided relief but not a solution, especially since @NAEYC survey found that family child care homes are being mostly shut out. @NitaLowey programs in your district need additional investment to #FundChildCare #HEROESAct bit.ly/3fJOtkF

"Since we can’t go back, let’s go forward by building on the best of what we know about how young children thrive & learn, how families need stable child care to go to work, and how #ECE educators must be valued w/ far more than accolades and applause." bit.ly/3b7uBUL

Reopening doesn't solve the child care crisis. It shifts the burden to parents, families and providers. With additional necessary public health requirements the economic fragility of the sector will not survive without sustained public support. @naeyc nytimes.com/2020/05/04/paren…
