Talk about #highqualitychildcare. Every kid should be so lucky to hang out with Mary all day! (And Mary has the best smile)...

Some #highqualitychildcare going on right here for both the kids AND the frogs (who return to nature at the end of the day, just like kids return to their families!) Amazing things happen when we #LetKidsBeKids #FundChildCare

What a day!! We partnered with @mnheadstart on this National #DayWithoutChildCare to draw attention to the threats of federal cuts to funding for our kids, especially Head Start. EVERY kid deserves #highqualitychildcare and we need #mnleg to step up and act boldly to make it happen.

Letter: Celebrating child care providers in West Central Minnesota "Because behind every high school graduate, every thriving kindergartner, every confident young learner, there’s someone who once held their hand, read them stories, and helped them feel safe while their parents worked," writes Marsha Erickson.

Provider Appreciation Day is this Friday, May 9!

The most wonderful way we could appreciate providers is to give them the resources they need to provide #highqualitychildcare #mnleg.

Courtney Greiner is testifying in the Children and Families Committee about concerns for mandating cameras in childcare programs, and supporting all of the other funding streams that WILL ensure that children are safe, healthy, and learning in #highqualitychildcare environments!

We know this guy. And his testimony was 🔥🔥🔥.

And it landed - with every legislator on all the sides of the aisle. Looking forward to right size regulations become a reality and MN leading the way!

#highqualitychildcare

We haven't even had time to post more about testimony in the Senate and we're already in the House where we have THREE childcare providers testifying about why we need to truly transform childcare licensing!
#highqualitychildcare

Kayley Spencer and Megan Schmitz came to the Capitol today from Lakeside Early Learning in Duluth! Kayley is testifying this afternoon in support of a childcare licensing bill to make the system work WAY better for childcare providers, teachers, and families.

We love it when elected leaders come to talk with childcare providers and teachers and dig deep into the challenges they face every day in providing high quality childcare that is affordable for families–and then take what they learn back to the Capitol!

#FundChildCare #highqualitychildcare

One of our favorite things to share - videos sent by childcare providers that highlight the awesome #highqualitychildcare happening across MN!

Not much better for brain development than exploring in nature!

Remember when it was green outside and warm enough to play in the "mud kitchen"?

Every kid should have access to a mud kitchen! That's #highqualitychildcare happening at Playschool Child Care, Inc. (in the winter too!)

#FundChildCare

Sending you into your weekend with a CELEBRATION!

This week Ms. Lashonda Flowers made it through the grueling process and she is now a LICENSED childcare center provider. Yay for Beautiful Beginnings Learning Center!

Congratulations! And what lucky kids!

#highqualitychildcare

Kids Count on Us leaders led big last night at Maple Grove Creative Kids Academy! Look at that crowd of providers, teachers, parents, and Rep. Kristin Robbins organizing for childcare funding.
Kids deserve #highqualitychildcare. Families deserve #affordablechildcare. Teachers deserve #LivingWages.
