The #childcare system is largely private, made up of individual small business owners. Financing is also largely private-families pay. Without gov't support, the childcare industry, already a crisis in the US, is at high risk. We'll be watching the stimulus packages closely. #ece

#Childcare centers remain open across MI...the sobering reason: The state is weighing the risk of young children being infected against the need for medical professionals & first-responders - so desperately needed - to have somewhere to drop off their kids.bridgemi.com/michigan-healt…

In the midst of unprecedented chaos and a disruption to our sense of normal, we have to remember that learning has never required a school building #HipHopEd

One of the hardest questions facing #childcare providers - many of whom already operate on slender margins financially - is this: If they close and parents stop paying tuition, will they ever reopen? Our response to this crisis must secure child care. adn.com/alaska-news/20…

Disruptions to our everyday routines can be incredibly stressful, but there may be a silver lining: We can continue to promote healthy development and build brains from our homes! Share photos or videos of how you're brain-building. Use #brainbuilding and we'll share it too! 💜

Well said!!!

I truly hope that we will emerge from all of this with a deep appreciation for what child care enables. Thing is without support many child care programs will go out of business. Ask Congress to include #childcare industry in the #covid19 econ stimulus package!

New survey from NAEYC: ~1 in 3 child care providers say "they would not survive a closure of more than two weeks without significant public investment and support". Unlike K-12, child care is not guaranteed to re-open unless we provide support now. tinyurl.com/s4o5zwf

This is huge. These responses speak volumes about deep needs in our country
