The push for universal #childcare rests on three core claims: - Parents want free childcare. - The research proves big returns. - Quality is scalable. *Yet all three claims are false.* My recent piece for @FamStudies takes a closer look at each:ifstudies.org/blog/three-fal…
State leadership delivers ECE results Washington can't. States can move beyond one-size-fits-all mandates to craft targeted solutions — grounded in local needs — that empower parents & make programs better for children.
Effective ECE policy is built by states, not Washington. States control the levers that matter. When they get policy right, they see clear returns for their workforce, economy — and families with young children. See why states must lead: ecestatepolicy.org/why-states-mus…

Any setting where young children spend substantial time shapes their development. When states treat “childcare” as separate from “education,” it wastes money and confuses families. Smart policy focuses on real needs of children and families - not false bureaucratic distinctions.
What's the difference between “childcare” and “early education”? There isn’t one. People often view childcare and early education as two different things, but this distinction ignores how young children actually develop. Get the ECE Essentials: bit.ly/3JcBLOS

Many lower-income working parents face an impossible choice: put their child in a substandard program or give up a steady job. This damages families and state economies. Our first key policy goal is empowering these parents with real purchasing power & a diverse marketplace of options.

You've seen our 5 core principles. Now, see the tools. The ECE State Policy Center is designed for state leaders with "Solutions in Action" and clear guides to ECE fundamentals. Explore here: ecestatepolicy.org #earlychildhoodeducation #ECE #earlyedpolicy #childcarepolicy
Creating ECE policy that truly works for families, children, and state economies is complex. It requires a coherent foundation for decisionmaking. We’re launching a new ECE State Policy Center with five core principles to guide the way:
(6/6) These principles aren't just theory—they're a roadmap. See the policy solutions they guide & the innovative state examples proving they work. Welcome to CCFP’s ECE State Policy Center: ecestatepolicy.org #earlychildhoodeducation #ECE #earlyedpolicy #childcarepolicy
(5/6) Focus on Cost-Effective Results, Not Spending: Track results to ensure public dollars achieve what matters most.
