Today’s The Washington Post editorial on the #childcare crisis includes this sad factoid from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: America’s child care professionals make, on average, 59 cents less per hour than its DOG WALKERS. Let that sink in.

To both candidates: given your responses to the question about roe v wade being overturned, how do you plan to protect the lives and wellbeing of children once they’re born? #utdebates

So excited for this event! Encouraging all my early childhood people to join 😀

But the program’s limited waiver opportunity ends Monday, October 31. So this is something to explore and act on NOW.

Today is the day we finally launch our new Center on Early Childhood. Join us virtually for inspiring and thought-provoking talks and panels.

The science is clear: Infant-toddler teachers are brain builders, not babysitters. The sooner public policy, training, and compensation catch up with this truth the better.

.The Hunt Institute’s Early Efforts web series will return January 9 with a critical conversation: The Case Against Preschool Suspension and Expulsion. We’ll be joined by Dr. Kate Zinsser now @setllab.bsky.social @CPZ4Senate Children's Equity Project @ShantelMeek & Dr. Tunette Powell. Register now at: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

We really need to start talking about public child care spending as an investment that MAKES money for states -- to say nothing of the increases in child & family flourishing, community health, and freedom. Check out these figures from Utah! ksl.com/article/505604…

Proud that UIC News and UIC College of Education are leading the convo on #ece by framing this discourse as about schools being "ready" for all kids, not just up to kids/families to get ready! #schoolreadiness #openaccess

Please join us Thursday, April 6 as we celebrate this milestone and reflect on the work ahead. Register here: bit.ly/3FBEM6h

edsurge.com/news/2023-04-1… Awesome article about the Thriving Providers Project Home Grown!!! I am so honored to work with the amazing women referenced throughout in our community-based evaluation work Stanford Center on Early Childhood

One of the most maddening things about U.S. family policy is that both sides agree new parents should have time with their babies, yet we can't even agree on 6 weeks of paid family leave, much less 6 months. I'm also tired of talking about child care policy w/o talking about PFL

Come work with me and our awesome team!!! careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/research-…

We've been working with Home Grown on the Thriving Providers Project, the first direct cash transfer program in the U.S. to focus exclusively on home-based child care providers. Read more here: stanford.io/3DNtquv
