New data from @KidsightsData sheds light on how we can support Nebraska's youngest residents. Hard to overstate just how critical this insight is for Nebraskans.
New data from @KidsightsData sheds light on how we can support Nebraska's youngest residents. Hard to overstate just how critical this insight is for Nebraskans.
This new #Kidsights data from IF partner @unmc on the early childhood experiences of Nebraska’s youngest learners paves the way for other states and communities to gain more insight into solutions that support children’s development. omaha.com/news/local/gov…
If you live in a major city, you can pay more than $17,000 a year per child for child care. For many families, that’s more than you pay for a mortgage or a college education. It’s overwhelming. That’s why today I'm signing an Executive Order to make child care more affordable.
In the absence of public investment and system-wide change, what are the next-best options for building sustainable options for early care in the US? @ByEmilyTate on what @n_renew @MiaPritts @MichelleNAEYC recently shared at #sxswedu⬇️ edsurge.com/news/2023-03-2…
This is huge. I hope everyone feels just a little bit safer around me. 🐰

~25% of children have little interaction with their teachers at child care, even at centers that have achieved the highest QRIS rating possible. Interaction + individual experience is everything! @ChildTrends @ChildrensEquity @policyequity bit.ly/3Cbtyo3

Gov. Heineman in story: "When you're the governor, you're a publicly elected official and your records are subject to (public records) requests...I think that's important, because the public has a right to know what a governor is doing and what kinds of emails that we get."
New @flatwaterfreep: Gov. Jim Pillen's staff has taken unprecedented step to shield Pillen's words from public, citing "executive privilege" as reason to withhold emails Pillen sent. That's likely never happened before, say six public officials. flatwaterfreepress.org/nebraska-gover…
