Parents are starting to return to work and Congress must ensure the child care industry is still standing for us to do so. We’re counting on you, @SenatorMenendez @SenBooker, to help pass at least $50B in federal funds to #SaveChildCare now. Congress can’t wait any longer

We shouldn’t separate school and child care. Working families need both. bangordailynews.com/2020/07/16/opi… via @bangordailynews @ACNJforKids

“MASLOW BEFORE BLOOM applies to the grown-ups too!” Thoughts? #maslowbeforebloom

Will your child be 3 or 4 by October 15, 2020? Register for preschool in @nbpschools! Registration is still open virtually and appointments can be made MONDAY-FRIDAY from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM! We're eager to begin preparing, empowering, and inspiring our future students! #ALLIN4NB

We share the world's grief & stand together with our school partners to face systemic racism that impacts Black Americans and people of color. We cannot meet our mission of improving outcomes for all children if we do not radically transform the culture in which we live.

#NJ released plan for #childcare & #daycare reopening during #COVID19 set for June 15 and aligns with @ACNJforKids & @njaeyc recommendations. Great news for our state & #ECE leadership. @northjersey article: ow.ly/nTVt50zVHEL ACNJ/NJAEYC Recs: ow.ly/USeu50zVHEy
