📣 OUR VOICES. OUR CHILDREN. OUR FUTURE!

Yesterday, ECEA joined families, child care providers, educators, and advocates in Trenton for the Affordable Child Care NOW Rally and Joint Committee Hearing!

Organized by the New Jersey Association for Education of Young Children (NJAEYC), Start Strong NJ, and Advocates for Children of New Jersey (ACNJ), the day was an important opportunity to call for affordable child care for families and stronger support for the providers and educators who make our early childhood system possible.

A special thank you to Elsa Jacobsen of ECEC and Amy Ragsdale representing ECEA for testifying and making their voices heard on behalf of New Jersey’s early childhood community!

Our voices matter, our work matters, and the fight for child care continues! 💪❤️
