It was a joy to support the development of this new #ECE resource synthesizing child development research through a racial equity lens. Beyond setting or funding stream or credential, what really matters? And how do we ask and answer these questions equitably?
"Because children are born learning, any environment can become an #ideallearning environment.” New resource from @trustfrlearning highlights scientific evidence in support of nine key principles of high-quality #ECE trustforlearning.org/evidenc…

Important insight in @Nature on how helpful mothers from low-income households find various individual and structural parenting interventions to be. Their perspectives are nuanced, vast, and belong at the center of early childhood research. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

I'm in #Pennsylvania getting out the vote. I haven't argued with a single Trump voter. #GOTV in the last week is all about helping people who want to vote get to the polls. We win or lose on these margins. Sign up to canvass or call in the next 3 days! open.substack.com/pub/ellenr…

Children today have inequitable access to nature-based #ECE programs that support mental health, inspire a love of nature and facilitate the creativity and courage we all need to face and respond to #climate change. Funders can help! @pndblog philanthropynewsdigest.org/f…

"When parents can't find child care, they can't work. ...And when they can't work, families and businesses suffer." The country's broken child care system now costs taxpayers an estimated $122 billion a year. I looked and why that is: usatoday.com/story/news/educ…

Inspiring protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old woman, #MahsaAmini, are being lethally quashed by #Iran. Children are being killed while protesting. Take action and call on the international community to set up an investigation mechanism. amnesty.org/en/petition/call…
