A match made in LA means investing in our children, families, and their future. Parishes across the state are stepping up for early childhood education 👶📚. By ensuring the annual state match in law, LA can sustain critical early learning opportunities for years to come 🌟
SB 435 is out of Committee and moving to the House Floor for final passage! 🎉 Thank you, Sen. Myers (@BrachMyersLA), for your leadership and commitment to Louisiana's children and families!
Alex Cory, Outreach & Partnerships Manager, and Dr. Candace Alfred Weber, Chief of Partnerships, attended the 2026 Louisiana Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Conference in Lafayette to highlight our Best Place for Working Parents initiative.
Business leader John Engquist says Louisiana can’t afford to lose its lead on early childhood education, and he’s right. Child care is a workforce and economic issue impacting families, businesses, and our state’s future. 🔗: businessreport.com/business/colum…
HB 992 is out of Senate Committee and headed to the Senate floor! Thank you, Rep. Freiberg (@bfreiberg1), for your commitment to Louisiana’s children and families.
HB 992 is out of committee and headed to the House floor! 🎉 Thank you, Rep. Freiberg (@bfreiberg1), and to Chairman McFarland (@RepMcFarland) for hearing this bill and advancing it for Louisiana’s children and families.
We are excited to welcome Page Gray to the team as Policy Analyst! Welcome to the team, Page! 💙 theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
Over 100 dads showed up at the Capitol on Tuesday to advocate for Louisiana’s children and families. 👨👧👦💙 Their voices matter, and their impact is real because when dads are engaged, kids thrive.
HB 648 is out of the House! 🎉 Thank you, Rep. Brass (@BrassRep), for your leadership!
Over the last 50 years society has turned its focus away from the family. In Louisiana, we are returning that focus! Great to join Dad’s Day at the Capitol to discuss the important role fathers play in building a strong family unit.
Congratulations to Dr. Candace Alfred Weber for being named among the Top 50 Women Leaders of Louisiana for 2026! Her dedication to improving early childhood education and advocating for Louisiana’s children is truly inspiring. thewomenweadmire.com/2026/03/the-to…
You cannot build a strong workforce without child care. 🧠👶🏽 Every $1 invested in early childhood education returns 13%, which is one of the strongest ROI's in economic policy. 📈 It is economic development. It is the smartest investment a state can make. youtu.be/HHtMdxKwM0w
Child care breakdowns cost LA's economy $1.3 billion each year. 📉 Parents missing work and turnover due to child care issues cost employers $762 million annually. Strong child care systems help families and strengthen our economy. 💙
HB 648 is out of committee! 🎉 Thank you, Rep. Brass (@BrassRep), for your leadership!
⏳ Nearly 2 in 3 Louisiana child care providers have a waitlist. Waitlists affect families and the workforce alike. Parents cannot work if they don't have child care. 👩🏽🏫💼 Want to learn more about the state's early educators? policyinstitutela.org/research/payin…
