According to Luke Virgil from Wayne Area #ecodevo, people who want to work can’t because they can’t find quality, affordable #childcare. It’s clear childcare is an economic driver and part of the solution to getting more Nebraskans back to work. We Care for Kids First Five Nebraska

Bottom line from Nebraska survey, “findings remarkable.” Commitment to #childcare is overwhelming, recognize problem is getting worse, and understand that it is necessary to address it for the sake of economy and families. We Care for Kids

Had the opportunity to hear from Abbie Raikes and Kidsights Data team yesterday about this important new measure to help us better understand the needs of young children and their families over time. Interesting #rural and #urban differences. #earlychildhood #childcare
