As a nurse, Sen Boldon's #childcarestory looks like a lot of parents working shift schedules. It shouldn't be so hard for parents to get the care they need. We CAN have a system that's accessible & affordable & we CAN make strides this year with the #GreatStartMN scholarships!
Rep Wolgamott's #childcarestory captures it all - it's THE essential component in most parents lives. Families deserve high quality, affordable options and they can't wait another year! #GreatStartMN
Rep Olson knows firsthand how instrumental child care is to so many pieces of our community. We need to make it affordable, accessible & high-quality (we love the shoutout to the incredible child care providers doing this work every day!) #GreatStartMN #AffordableChildCareNow
Thank you to Rep Brand for sharing his #childcarestory & for coming to the legislature to make child care more affordable & available! Like he said - this is for our workforce and for our families. Parents like Rep Brand can work, only when child care works. #GreatStartMN #mnleg
More hearts have found their way to the Capitol! Rep. Samakab Hussein is excited to work on childcare affordability this session. He knows how important it is to lower childcare costs for Minnesota families! #affordablechildcare #GreatStartMN

Such an awesome day of working rooms, getting teachers on TV, meeting lieutenant governors and feeling momentum! #fullyfundchildcare #GreatStartMN
Check out Laura Delventhal 's testimony from last week on childcare affordability!
Her family paid $39,000 a year for two kids in childcare. You read that number correctly. We can do better #mnleg !

Monday, April 29 is 'Childcare UNAffordability Day'! It's the day of the year when the average MN family with 2 kids in childcare has ALREADY paid 7% of their annual income for childcare #mnleg ! We've got work to do.

Some of our favorites from yesterday! We love seeing providers, teachers, parents, and KIDS telling #mnleg that they matter and that childcare and early learning deserves to be funded like the public good it is!
