I'm looking forward to meeting all of you in Long Beach this month!
The annual @ZEROTOTHREE LEARN Conference is just weeks away! It’s the largest, most accessible early childhood event of its kind, attracting experts from around the globe–and I’ll be there to talk about why we should #votebabies this November.

High quality, affordable child care is inaccessible for so many families. Thank you, Remington, for sharing your story with @SenSanders to let him know change needs to be made to help families thrive. #StrollingThunder #ThinkBabies

Made a new friend at work today! Jude was in Washington with his parents, and he made great points about what Congress should be doing to support @ZEROTOTHREE's efforts to help families with young children succeed.
Jude even gave me a new hat – talk about a pro!

It was wonderful having @ZEROTOTHREE visit our office. Thank you for your commitment to advocating for our youngest learners!
As a cosponsor of the Child Care Stabilization Act and so many other important childcare bills, I am committed to advocating for policies that support families and promote early childhood development.
We're showing lawmakers that all voices, even small ones, matter. I'm so proud to have been a part of #StrollingThunder today and inspired by our family advocates.

We're making some noise today! We're here right now on Capitol Hill telling Congress that they must make babies, toddlers and their families a national priority.

Katey is urging everyone to #ThinkBabies! I am so inspired by how she fought for her children and now advocates for other families. I can’t wait to meet her at this year’s #StrollingThunder rally on April 30th.
Though the journey to reunification was difficult, Katey was determined. Now, she has turned her attention to helping other families as a #StrollingThunder advocate. Watch Katey's story: bit.ly/4aCPNBd, then head to bit.ly/3vMpolE to meet our other families.
The potential of every baby must be made a national priority through policies that promote good health, strong families and positive early learning experiences. Because when families succeed, we all succeed. Our future depends on it. #ThinkBabies
Families are not backing down! And we're helping get their message to policymakers. #StrollingThunder returns 4/30, as babies and families from all 50 states & DC meet with Congress to urge them to #ThinkBabies. Meet the family representing your state: bit.ly/3S55zyu

My heart breaks for the babies and children who have been subjected to unthinkable violence in Israel and Gaza. At @ZEROTOTHREE we see this as a moment to recommit ourselves to ensuring that every child grows up healthy, safe, and loved.
We have developed several free resources offering guidance on helping young children grieve and process traumatic experiences.

#TBT to the LEARN Conference. Always a pleasure to join @miriamelena88 to elevate the early childhood workforce and advocate for the policies babies and families need — especially when it involves a little salsa dancing!
Our country’s already underfunded child care system is falling short of what babies, families and child care providers need to thrive. Thank you to @MSNBC and @miriamelena88 for shining a spotlight on this critical issue.
As money stabilizing #childcare expires, @miriamelena88 joined @YasminMSNBC to remind us "It's good for families, it's good for our economy and businesses. Because child care is the work that helps everyone else work."
