Count us in!

Maybe you’re excited about the convention next week in Denver. Perhaps your team is gathering the next week in Minneapolis. It doesn’t matter if you are a Democrat or Republican: your choice for President needs to make a commitment to ensuring quality early childhood opportunities for all of our children.

As you gather information and prepare to vote in November, you’ll have many opportunities for conversations with your child. We agree with the staff of the NYC Child Study Center, who encourages us to talk with children with understanding, patience and to invite their questions and own opinions. They’ve published a useful guide for talking to kids about politics based on your child’s age. This is a good time to start thinking about taking your child with you to vote in November – they'll love the “I Voted” sticker!
