Dear Jessica,


In Connecticut, parents, educators, and advocates are continuing to push for increased investment in early care and education! Governor Lamont won’t sign a final budget until June. Until then, it’s important to keep the momentum from last month’s Morning Without Child Care going! 


Starting in mid-April, Child Care for Connecticut’s Future (CCfCF) will host Wednesday ECE Advocacy Days at the state capitol. It’s an opportunity to speak directly with your elected officials! As legislators continue budget negotiations, we must keep early educators and families at the top of their minds. In the coming days, look out for more information from CCfCF about how you can get involved. Let’s continue to raise our voices and amplify the need for investment in family child care! 


If you’d like All Our Kin’s support in participating in an upcoming ECE Advocacy Day, please reach out to Jade Thomas at jade@allourkin.org

The Whole Book Approach

Supporting Children's Critical Engagement with Picture Books


Discover the difference between reading to children and reading with children. The Whole Book Approach was developed by former Carle educator Megan Dowd Lambert, author of Reading Picture Books With Children. Her work helps adults create an active, discussion-based reading experience for children that builds observation and critical-thinking skills.


Presented by our friends at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.


Participants will receive 1.5 hours of professional development by attending the whole workshop.
