We're excited to be hosting early education stakeholders on June 30, and excited to have the @Hunt_Institute and @DanWuori on board! We hope you can join us and share your thoughts on the future of ECE in Kansas.
As Kansas considers a consolidated early childhood governance model, @Hunt_Institute will be supporting the state with a series of community listening sessions, June 27-30. Looking forward to a chance to meet early childhood stakeholders from across The Sunflower State.

Our nation’s #childcare shortage is putting unnecessary pressure on families. But there are states making progress.
NM and AL offer different blueprints for expanding quality child care.

What an amazing way to think about all the benefits of #HeadStart by celebrating a birthday?! Thank you @RepDavids for helping us to do so! 🎉🎉🎉

Today marks 58 years of Head Start programs!
I’m committed to protecting early education programs in Kansas, like @tfckc and @KUMedCenter’s Project Eagle, because students enrolled in Head Start are healthier, have better social skills, & are more likely to graduate high school.

Stephanie, a #childcare provider in TN, used #ARPA Stabilization Grant funding to offer competitive wages to her staff and keep her program afloat. Without continued funding, Stephanie may have to close her program’s door: hubs.ly/Q01NBszC0 #ece #earlyed #changechildcare
