In the News!

Dear members of the NAEYC community,

This weekend the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act without a single dollar for child care.

For months, you joined us in sharing your stories—stories filled with angst as you struggle to keep your early learning programs open despite a record number of educators leaving the sector in search of a thriving wage; stories of how these staffing shortages translate to fewer options for families who are desperately contacting you in search of affordable, high-quality child care; stories that laid bare the systemic inequities that disadvantage a largely unrecognized workforce that does transformational work every day.

 Congratulations on pursuing college course work in ECE.  These courses are being offered to enable students to become EEC Certified, and/or continue on their academic pathway towards an Associate's degree or ECE Certificate at Middlesex Community College.  This is the first step in your journey and I am excited to guide you along the way!  Please fill out this form completely, any forms with incomplete answers will not be accepted.  This is a COURSE REQUEST form- filling out this form does not guarantee you enrollment in any courses at Middlesex Community College.  It is each student's responsibility to check their email for correspondence and requests for further documentation.  

Breaking a complicated concept into bite-sized, digestible pieces. 

So, you want to better understand gender, or need help explaining it to someone else?  

Used by — and contributed to by — countless people around the world and throughout the decades, the genderbread person (and all of the different evolutions of it, and ideas it evolved from) is a wonderful way to start an important conversation.

United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Congressman Mondaire Jones (D-NY-17) today reintroduced the Universal Child Care and Early Learning Act, a comprehensive and bicameral bill that will ensure that every family has access to high-quality, affordable child care and early learning opportunities by establishing a network of federally-supported, locally administered child care options.
