Today, we had parents, teachers, and our littlest Minnesotans at the Capitol. It's exciting to see how everyone is coming together to support childcare and make a positive impact on our community! #KidsCountOnUs #LittlestMinnesotan

#KidsCountonUs virtual Lobby Day is now! Our communities are able to thrive because of childcare professionals. Their perspectives, experiences, and solutions are what #MNLeg must learn from and act on. It’s time to #FundOurFutures and prioritize childcare!

WHAT!!!! I can’t believe we all did this today. Over 120 kids, families, providers and teachers showed up for #KidsCountOnUs to demand that OUR voices be centered in this work.

If you need to know who a person is behind closed doors, ask a child. Once a person has shown their true colors to a child, that kid took notice. Even if they didn’t say anything out loud, they saw. Kids are always watching 👀.

'Our budget is a moral document about what and who we say matters. Let's invest in our kids.' -Amal from Saint Cloud #KidsCountOnUs #mnleg

#KidsCountOnUs . Thank you Senator Eken for listening and supporting young children, families and early care educators!

I visited Becky & Charla, who run 'Love and Learn Child Care Academy' in St. Cloud this morning.

Childcare costs are too high of a burden for MN families. We need to fully fund CCAP and make sure our kids have safe, healthy care.
