Advocacy

Early childhood educators in family child care homes and child care centers – are you Joining Voices? Come be a part of

Child Resource Connect envisions vibrant, healthy communities where individuals and families care, support and advocate for each other and invest in creating opportunities for children to develop strong, successful life paths.

Joining Voices brings together our community’s early childhood educators to advocate for children, families, and the field. We work together on ideas for local, state and even federal action. We share stories with one another – and with elected officials!

We’re hosted by the Child Resource Connect but driven by you and your needs in family child care homes and child care centers.

People are making decisions about you, your programs and your families at the federal level in Congress and the Administration; at the state level in our General Assembly and at MSDE; and at our county level in Prince George’s County and Anne Arundel County.  By sharing our experiences and needs in Maryland, we can help decision-makers and partners to create and deliver on the things that matter most.

Let’s Join voices together!
