A whopping 90% of kids & their families will benefit from the expanded tax credit included in the American Rescue Plan. Starting this month, most families will automatically receive monthly payments up to $300 per child but non-tax-filers must sign up: childtaxcredit.gov

47% of kids 0-5 in Oregon live in low-income households, our state is a child care desert, and we rank 49th in HS graduation. We're grateful to @RepMitchell32 for meeting with voters to learn more about why investments in early childhood are so important. #ECEMatters #ORPol

Yesterday, I read a wonderful version of the classic children’s book “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" & it said “Congress, Congress, what do you see? I see child care for all families.” I'll keep fighting to make #ChildCare4All a reality & I hope you can join me.

I showed my class the video of Zaina Cahill speaking at the press conference for the reintroduction of the #ChildCare for Working Families Act to highlight how critical it is to have #earlyeducators standing with US Senators & involved in policy! @NAEYC #PPF19 @PennAEYC

We as a society need to get on the same side and consider affordable child care as a public good, an important investment, to support families and increase wages for educators. #ECEwins #PPF19

Only 1 in 6 children eligible for child care assistance is receiving it. The average child care worker is making $11.42 an hour - Why we’re asking for $5 billion. We’re recovering from years of investment neglect. #ECEWins

Today I met with educators from across the state about the challenges they face. I know we can work together to ensure every one of our students is set up for success, from preschool to K-12 and onward to universities & community colleges. I'm committed, and I know they are too.

Attention aspiring presenters! The call for proposals is now open for the 2019 Annual Conference in Nashville, TN! Visit our website for more information and submit your proposal by February 1, 2019. bit.ly/2SvtllC #naeycAC
The national median pay for #childcare workers is $22,290 which is the 2nd percentile of wages. Low wages makes working in child care unfordable for many, contributing to workforce turnover. dailyitem.com/news/snyder_co…
We support @OregonGovBrown in her request for additional investments in early childhood programs and services. Read on for more from CI President and CEO Swati Adarkar on the critical importance of these investments. #ORpol #preschool #earlyed bit.ly/2zwpgGW

We stand in opposition to the new proposed regulation on #PublicCharge which would punish parents AND harm children. We urge you to #ProtectFamilies and submit a comment to @DHSgov, by Dec. 10, to withdraw this harmful and misguided rule. Take action now: bit.ly/2BFCB0V
