Some personal news: I’ve joined @The74 as a contract early care and education correspondent. I’m excited to continue telling critical stories about young children, educators and families.

I wrapped up my time at @EdSurge last week, after seven years and nearly 300 stories.
My final piece as a senior reporter there was something a little different: edsurge.com/news/2025-11-17-…

Fascinating new piece @ByEmilyTate for @EdSurge. "Why is it a fist fight to find child care? It shouldn’t be that hard. Technology should make this easier." tinyurl.com/42prnabx
I left my usual lane to report on a trend that has fascinated me for almost two years: The rise of smartwatches among kids. wired.com/story/schools-ban-…

There’s an article out today where I get to talk about the Smitten Kitchen Classroom Wishlist Project, now in its third summer and bringing so many teachers and students (and me!) a lot of joy. Thank you @EdSurge for bringing attention to the project.

🔍 Everyone is talking about cell phones in schools. But what about smartwatches?
• Seeing more smartwatches on kids?
• Does your child have one?
• How does your school handle them?
Our reporter @ByEmilyTate wants to hear from you.

Closing out 2023 with a close look at Michigan's Tri-Share program, in which the state, the employer and the employee each pay for 1/3 of the cost of child care.

I've been wanting to visit Idaho to report this early learning story since August ... of last year! I finally made the trip last month.
It's exciting to see this story — and the collaboration with @AP — come to life this morning.

In just the last few years, the community has managed to make marked improvements in family engagement, preschool access and kindergarten readiness — during the pandemic, no less.
So I went there to understand how this happened — and why it's working so well.
I hope you'll give it a read! It's a refreshing dose of good news in a sector that is so often full of doom and gloom. apnews.com/article/free-pres…

Thanks for noticing, @MDFinanceSD! Nothing ends up in our weekly feature, Points of Progress, unless we're impressed by the work someone is doing. And thank you @EdSurge and @ByEmilyTate for the inspiring story our short one was adapted from.
