Child care providers in Dallas County, you may be eligible for 100% property tax exemption if you are part of the Texas Rising Star Program and at least 20 percent of the children enrolled are on a TWC scholarship. Submit Form 50-844 to DCAD by April 30.
It is North Texas Giving Time, and our littles at the Martin Luther King, Jr Early Education Center in Dallas, TX could use your gift. They are on a path to be amazing future leaders! Any amount, it adds up! THX! mtyc.co/q4aldg

It’s so horrible to have to deal with last night etc without Molly Ivins, but I know exactly what she would say: “Sweetpea, let’s have this conversation in a week or two.”

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. joebiden.com

Child care pains persist.
“If the Legislature wants students to be strong readers by third grade, succeed in high school and go to college, then addressing the first five years of a child’s life needs to be part of the state’s strategy,” Clark said.

Over the past six months, I have been looking into the rising influence of profit-seeking investors -- particularly private equity firms -- in the child care sector. What I found is a cascade of risks that call for policymaker attention.

Sometimes grace looks like running out of any more good ideas. Sometimes it’s a second wind or buoyancy you hadn’t expected. Sometimes it just looks like it not being yesterday any more. But grace always finds you exactly where you are, and does not leave you where it found you.

Childcare is just not like other "goods." 60-80% of providers' budgets go to labor, which they can't reduce without jeopardizing the quality of care. The rest is eaten up by fixed costs like rent, electricity, food, toys, etc. There are no corners to cut or economies of scale.

Watch this video to find out how and why our early childhood shapes the adults we become.
$122 Billion in annual economic losses...let that soak in. How does the early learning provider keep the rates affordable for parents, yet earn enough revenue to operate a quality program? @ChildCareGroup
