Saving for a grandchild’s college education can make their dreams come true and deliver extra tax deductions for you.

Childcare providers should, however, have the funding to actually get subs when they need them instead of perpetually covering the spots themselves!

Today a first! A director was so interested in talking about what’s happening in her center and the childcare world, but was in a classroom. Guess who got to have a powerful conversation AND hang out with cute babies at the same time!

It's Day 2 of our Childcare Week of Action - Teacher Appreciation Day!

These kiddos are thanking their teacher who has been in childcare for CLOSE TO 40 YEARS. Lots of lucky kids have gone through Carol's doors!

Here at the capital because it is time to declare that child care and early learning is a PUBLIC good and needs public support to work!! #GreatStartMN #mnleg #FullyFundChildCare #MN_faith
