Doula Appreciation Week begins tomorrow! The first Doula Day was held in Israel on March 22, 2011. March 22 was chosen because it's the spring equinox, representing fertility's return in many cultures. The week celebrates the people who support women throughout their birthing journey. It also aims to improve access to doula services. Join us in supporting and celebrating Doulas this coming week! Interested in additional training: https://ow.ly/trRk50Vmfbh
关于我们
BUILD is a national initiative that supports state leaders across the early childhood spectrum—adults dedicated to family support and engagement, early learning, health, mental health, nutrition, and more. BUILD brings these leaders together to promote opportunities for all children from birth through age five to start school healthy and prepared for success. BUILD partners with state-based organizations, early childhood innovators, business leaders, government offices and others to build early childhood systems by connecting programs and services for young children that may have functioned in isolation, at cross-purposes, or without the sufficient resources to meet critical needs. Why It Matters With increasing evidence from brain science, we know that the first five years of life set the foundation for all future growth and development, yet our society currently invests the least in this age group. Investments in early childhood improve health, school readiness, and ultimately, the ability to be part of an educated workforce, which is critical for our future prosperity. Creating effective early childhood systems in states and communities is the only way to ensure the healthy growth and development of each and every child. Racial disparities, inequities, and more generalized underinvestment begin in these earliest years of life and have profound impacts. We are committed to helping states and communities develop services, supports, and public policies that can ensure the healthy growth and development of each and every child. A State-Based Approach BUILD’s partner states have built critical infrastructure and made advances in early learning, family support and engagement, early intervention for children with special needs and in health, mental health and nutritional services. We partner with public and private sector systems leaders as they establish state policy, provide services, and build their advocacy efforts for children from birth to age five.

In January, the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Implementation Working Group met to discuss how the new administration’s priorities might affect local early childhood initiatives. While many uncertainties remain, the discussion helped clarify potential impacts on programs at local and state levels. Before exploring responses to these changes, it is important to understand the federal early childhood funding landscape and its connection to program delivery in communities.
