"Studies show that children exposed to high-quality early childhood education have better language, math, and social skills and better relationships with classmates. Show your support for early childhood education and educators by celebrating" @AZFTF #WOYC22


There is an urgent need for a well-prepared and professionally compensated #earlychildhood workforce. A webinar on 3/29 at 3 PM ET will outline several strategies that can strengthen support for childcare & early childhood education. Register: ow.ly/sGIN50HXZe4 @AZFTF


The cost of childcare puts many families in Az in a challenging position.

The @EconomicPolicy says that infant child care in AZ costs more than college tuition. “Quality care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers is out of reach for many Arizona families," said #AZFTF's Liz Barker Alvarez. She spoke to @12News about it. 12news.com/video/money/co…

Earlier this year, a statewide Kindergarten Entry Assessment was funded as part of AZ’s literacy initiatives. The primary goal was to help teachers evaluate how to best support their students, where only about 39% of 3- and 4-year-olds attend preschool. firstthingsfirst.org/2022/01/statew…

A long-term study shows that high-quality early education can have positive impacts that span two generations, with better life outcomes for both those that attend high-quality #preschool and their future children. Learn more about #AZFTF's work across AZ. firstthingsfirst.org/what-we-do

What an investment in Arizona’s future! 👏👏

Did you know that 5,920 AZ children from low-income families received quality early education with the help of a #QualityFirstAZ scholarship? Read more about how we continue to support early learning across the state in our 2021 #AZFTF Annual Report. firstthingsfirst.org/2021/09/first-…

Child care is so much more than the original term "daycare" reflects. Learn how local #ECE organizations are working to change that perception and highlight the importance of this industry and its workforce. firstthingsfirst.org/2021/08/daycar…

Dear @SenatorSinema and @SenMcSallyAZ For months, we have been calling on Congress to provide at least $50B in dedicated funding to stabilize the child care sector. However, those calls have gone unanswered. Please #SaveChildCare #AskAboutChildCare twitter.com/NAEYC/status/1…

Raise tuition or close? #Childcare programs are between a rock and a hard place. If Congress and the White House don't move to #MakeReliefReal, families, educators, and our nation's economy will continue to pay the price. Learn more: bit.ly/34wtFYR #SaveChildCare
