After lots of feedback from lots of conversations with childcare providers of all varieties from across all of Minnesota, the revised childcare licensing standards are being delayed! We are excited to work with DHS to co-create new child-centered standards! Let's get to work!

End of summer and start of school brings big changes at childcare centers! Sending good vibes to all of the childcare providers trying to frantically hire teachers for fall as they watch the college kids that were teaching over the summer head back to college! #SolveChildCare

The impact that these funds make cannot be underestimated. A healthy and vibrant society makes sure its children and families are cared for. #SolveChildCare

A reminder that early educators do not make enough money to live, and educators in community based childcare earn even less! "Nationwide, the average annual salary for Head Start teachers is just below $40,000. In some states, the average is even lower." buff.ly/3WZb8Qd

Today's post is brought to you by the letter "C," for corn, cookies, and corndogs! The Minnesota State Fair is ON. A great way to digest is to visit the booths of different political parties and elected leaders and say "Hi, I'd like to talk to you about #childcare" (Then talk to them!)

Minnesota is in the national news a lot lately 🤔. Lots of sharing about the great things that have happened here recently, but they keep forgetting THIS.... Minnesota is pretty ok (Minnesotan for excellent), but we want to be the #beststate! Read more: buff.ly/47UWe0S

"Something has to change. It begins with fundamentally shifting how we value parenting, recognizing that the work of raising a child is crucial to the health and well-being of all society..." Imagine what we could do if we #fullyfundchildcare! buff.ly/3XypzMR

Read it and share it. The way we get to fully funding childcare and early learning goes through making sure everyone is aware of what is at stake. #SolveChildCare #fullyfundchildcare

An adorable kiddo to send you into a long weekend...and to remind you of the crazy amount of learning that happens at the youngest ages and why we need to #SolveChildCare!

"With all the capital and labor expenses, this child care center would have cost a whopping $45,000 per child per year. It was a nonstarter." We need public funding to fill the gap between cost of childcare and what parents can afford! #SolveChildCare npr.org/2024/09/04/nx-…
