As we wrap up February, we’re taking a moment to look back at some highlights we shared on our social media channels throughout the month. If you haven’t already, we invite you to follow us on social media! It’s one of the easiest ways to stay up to date on child care resources, early learning news, and opportunities to get involved.

In early learning spaces, every child deserves to see themselves reflected, valued, and celebrated. During Black History Month, we uplift the stories, leaders, and cultures that continue to inspire stronger, more inclusive communities for families and children. Today and always. #DELC #EquityinEducation #BlackHistoryMonth

Repost from Reach Out & Read:
Those first few years are short, but, as Reach Out and Read Wisconsin’s David Gerhard knows, they shape so much of what comes next.
Having support early on can help families feel steadier, more confident, and less alone as they learn and grow together.
And that can make all the difference.
Happy 167th Birthday, Oregon! We’re grateful to be part of this incredible state and honored to serve the children and families who make it so vibrant. What do you love most about calling Oregon home?
Repost from Northwest Native Chamber:
We’re excited to share a new round of Child Care Infrastructure Fund (CCIF) webinars happening this month and into March!
Whether you’re a child care provider working hands-on in your program or part of agency leadership guiding big-picture strategy, there’s something here for you. Each session offers practical guidance, helpful tools, and space to learn alongside others doing this important work.
Our first webinar kicks off tomorrow! Take a look through the slides to see which sessions are the best fit for you, and we hope to see you there.
