#UPK is an important part of a statewide effort to provide full-circle support for children and families and transform California’s schools to be more community-focused and equitable. #CAsGreatStart

With #UPK, families have a choice in which #preschool program their child attends. When making your decision, these are some of the logistics you should consider:

#UPK brings together Transitional Kindergarten (#TK), California State Preschools (#CSPP), #HeadStart, private #preschool and #childcare, and #ExpandedLearning opptys like before and #afterschool to partner so that families have options for a full-day of learning and care.

Help us spread the word about #UPK in California! We've developed a suite of materials to support you in communicating with your partners and families in your community about #CAsGreatStart, including PowerPoints, PDFs, and social media. Check them out: bit.ly/californiaupk

Our youngest learners thrive when at least 50% of their time is spent on child-directed playful learning activities. The @CADeptEd is supporting #EarlyChildhood educators to use play-based approaches in #UPK to build the skills children need to succeed in school and life.

Stay up-to-date on the latest developments about #UPK by following this account. Join us as we work to build a stronger, more inclusive educational foundation for CA's children. Together, we can build a future where every child in CA gets a #GreatStart to their learning journey!

I love #California, I really do, but I could do without the #earthquake drama, okay?

I for one look forward to a calm and measured conversation about the new NAEP scores. (sigh.) If you want to lean into the nuance -- and there's no single narrative here, sorry! -- I highly recommend starting with @matt_barnum's comprehensive reporting: chalkbeat.org/2022/10/24/234…

Please vote No. It's absolutely critical to continuing our fight against COVID and especially for keeping our children safe!

Unbelievable. The opposite of what we need

Right.

@Delta The saga continues. Active duty military family still sitting in an airport 36 hours later. Unbelievable! Now stuck in Detroit. Mechanical issues. Trip from Hades. #dontflydelta #deltasucks
