Pre-K teachers, child care centers, family child care providers--please help @bankstreetedu in a statewide effort to understand how COVID-19 is affecting you. The information you provide will help agencies, policy makers and all of us support you better. ow.ly/pPkx50zzxf8

@LI4PreK @NYSenate please include $750k in the final budget for the LI Regional Technical Assistance Center. During these scary times, we need to know we are investing in essential services for families to keep thriving. @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie

This school of fish can't vote, but your school family can! The election is only three days away. Call or text five friends today and encourage them to vote with young children in mind! #ECEwins – at Buffalo, NY
