So AEI has put out a volume on a conservative approach to family policy, and the early childhood education chapter is... a doozy. Consider this assertion that early childhood programs are not for "child development." News to the past 50+ years of early childhood researchers!
Scott Winship@swinshi

In his chapter, Finn sensibly argues that early childhood programs should be focused on school readiness and targeted to kids who aren't going to be ready for school absent intervention. Early childhood programs are not for child care, and they are not for "child development".

We're witnessing a quiet implosion of the child care sector. We need to continue to get loud about what we need at both the state and federal level, like we did during the height of the pandemic... linkedin.com/posts/alwat_fr…

@PoPville What would be more exciting than tacos in Chinatown is if more Chinese restaurants or an Asian supermarket opened in Chinatown.

Scenes from the #DayWithoutChildCare rally in DC to demand that District officials save the Early Educators Pay Equity Fund so that early childhood educators can attain financial security while helping our youngest children grow and learn! #dwocc24

When you put public funding into child care, good things happen for kids, parents, providers & entire communities. "Our programs are expanding, increasing compensation for our staff, and in some instances, offering health insurance & other employee benefits for the first time."
Let's Grow Kids@LetsGrowKids

As federal funding for child care ran out last year, dozens of VT program owners sounded the alarm on the dire state of our local child care system. After Act 76's passage, these program directors have a new outlook. Read what 15 directors have to say a year later ⬇️

Thanks to @ChmnMendelson for fighting to preserve the Early Educator Pay Equity Fund, a national model for ensuring early childhood educators are paid fairly for the value they provide for kids, families, and our society. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…
