NC: What does quality child care mean to you? We need to hear your feedback on NC's QRIS/ Star rated license system this summer!

June 8, 2023

Protecting and caring for LGBTQ+ kids and teens

June 1, 2023
To say this is a fraught Pride Month for LGBTQ+ folks and their allies is truly an understatement. This year’s celebration comes as big swaths of the country are debating and legislating, and getting hysterical about, the very existence of trans kids. How can we, as people who are raising, teaching, and caring for LGBTQ+ kids and teens, support them as we strive to keep them safe?

Understanding Discipline and What it Really Means

May 15, 2023
The root of the word discipline comes from discipulus which means learner or pupil. At one point humans understood that discipline was actually about learning and not so much about punishment. In the horse (and human) herd, discipline is a loving and protective act. Teaching our youngsters how to...

Starting October 1, 2023 childcare providers get free or $15 child care!

May 15, 2023
Did you hear the great news……?! I taught at a Montessori preschool for 15 years. I loved my job, and it was an honor to guide some of Washington’s youngest learners and help them develop essential cognitive and social skills. But I was never paid a living wage, and I struggled to make ends meet. I...

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week Reminds Us That Our Stories Matter

May 1, 2023
It is often the stories that we don’t share that are amongst the most important ones. I know that after I gave birth to my son 21 years ago no one knew that I was hardly eating and regularly crying both in private and in public. It was only years later that I felt comfortable sharing that with...
