I’m Julia of Ms. Julia’s Schoolia in Eau Claire Wi. Working tirelessly to get childcare funded and early childhood educators paid what we deserve! 90% of our brains are developed before we’re 5 years old. ❤️
Wisconsin Early Childhood Action Needed (WECAN) has been in Madison Wisconsin all week to fight for child care funding in the state budget.

We’ve been told there is a plan. We are still waiting to hear one that will work

youtube.com/shorts/7un4Z.... Senator Jeff Smith from Wisconsin Senate District 31 stopped by record his weekly address. This one is about child care (a new report shared that 25% of WI centers will close if this isn't funded). SO grateful for Senator Smith's office. They pay attention and show up!

Kids first! Family first! Invest in child care now!
400 people from all over Wisconsin gathered in Madison on a Wednesday (4/16) to demand that childcare gets the funding that children, families, and early childhood educators deserve.

I had an opportunity to meet with @govevers.wisconsin.gov on Monday to talk about funding child care in Wisconsin’s budget. As the governor said, this year is different. Looking forward to getting this over the finish line! The youngest most quickly developing members of our community need this.

Childcare providers are the workforce for the workforce. We are essential. We earn about $13/hour in Wisconsin. When decision makers invest in childcare, providers like me can finally earn a living wage!
