Happy #ProviderAppreciationDay from the WVAYC board! You are the workforce behind the workforce. You are early educators and brain builders. #ThankYouChildCare

I hope Chairman Criss will attend the Child Care Town Hall on May 9th in Parkersburg. Child care providers and parents have been reaching out to lawmakers in every corner of WV for YEARS asking the legislature to help #solvechildcare. #wvlegis

Lawmakers didn’t honor their word to make child care a priority during the 2024 legislative session. Now, the Department of Human Services is asking for an extra $23 million to fund a new federal mandate. buff.ly/4aWh56o

Reminder for WV legislators without access to childcare working parents must choose between keeping their job when they have a baby or end up scrambling to find someone to care for their baby. There’s a better way. Expand access to affordable, quality childcare. #solvechildcare

As many childcare centers across the state struggle financially, one center in the Kanawha County area, “Momma Bear’s” announced this week that it will close its doors on May 31 after struggling to stay afloat for months. trib.al/Ed65pQh

The district right below mine. Something has to give with childcare. Waiting lists are already 200+ kids deep. Once a center closes, another will not reopen. We need to solve childcare now. msn.com/en-us/money/ca…

MetroNews Talkline Flash Poll: Do have, or have you had, challenges finding affordable child care in West Virginia?

I am a childcare provider and I have never received such a letter.

.West Virginia Department of Human Services' Bureau for Family Assistance released new data on child care services and families who receive child care subsidies, highlighting the essential role these subsidies play for working families across the state. dhhr.wv.gov/News/2024/Page…

Makes sense that the top priority for the WVGOP Supermajority this session is to weaken vaccine requirements which *checks notes* protects children. But hey, who cares what board certified physicians say, let's bring back whooping cough and make it stronger than ever! #wvpol
