Congrats @SenSaraGelser for passing #NCSLSummit resolution to pass bipartisan federal law to protect kids in congregate care. Sen Gelser Blouin’s hard work on this has resulted in big changes to shutter horrible facilities claiming to help vulnerable kids

Improved access to affordable, quality childcare critically important for child well-being, economic development, decreasing family stress, etc. Studies suggest national loss of >$57B/year due to inadequate childcare.

Dr. Jack Shonkoff, @HarvardCenter for the Developing Child reminds us we have to allow failure, new ideas, longer term outcome measures in early childhood interventions just as we do in business innovation.

I’ve been participating in @HuntEarlyEd Early Childhood Policy Fellowship this year & now at convening for whole cohort. Great to be with so many others committed to improving the lives & futures of our youngest Americans.

Good advice, especially given the lack of privacy with some apps & some phones.
