Quebec provides universal childcare for less than $7 a day. Here’s what the US can learn Public childcare network is a win for everyone – kids, parents and the government, and the Quebec model is a shining example

It is time for the lessons learned to come back across the border.
This article is part of the ‘Unequal Beginnings’ series, supported in part by the Foundation for Child Development and philanthropic funding to theGuardian.org. #childcare #paidleave #workforce #childpoverty

The result is a system that puts families and children first, supporting parents’ workforce participation, increasing tax revenues, and reducing child poverty.

The approach was inspired by U.S. research, but Quebec implemented the vision by collaborating with community child care networks and putting parents in positions of leadership and power.

Quebec’s universal childcare system demonstrates what is possible when early care and education are treated as a public good. Families pay less than $10 a day for year-round, full-day, high-quality care, meals, and specialized developmental support services. This is unheard of in the United States.

Moderated by SRI’s Victoria Schaefer the conversation will explore the vital role of researchers in informing the future of our education systems and translating evidence into actionable policy and practice to improve teaching and learning.

#FourthOfJuly #ChildWellbeing #EquityForAll #FCD

Today, the Foundation for Child Development reaffirms our belief that freedom means liberation from oppression and justice means every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy, supported, and safe—able to learn, lead, and imagine a future without limits.

This Fourth of July, we hold onto our ideals of freedom, justice, and opportunity even as we recognize that those promises remain unrealized for too many children.

‘These deaths are not inevitable’: state gun control laws reduce children’s firearm deaths, study shows States that enact stricter gun control measures show a decrease in the leading cause of death of US children

These tragedies are not inevitable. Commonsense policy choices can and do save lives. Let Gun Violence Awareness Month be a call to action to protect kids, not guns. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... @theguardian.com

A new study shows that states with stronger gun safety laws, such as background checks, safe storage, and permitting, have seen fewer pediatric gun deaths. In contrast, states that loosened gun laws experienced sharp increases in child deaths from firearms, especially among children of color.

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, and this reporting from The Guardian should move us all to act. Since 2020, guns have been the leading cause of death for U.S. children.

Juneteenth calls us to reflect not only on how far we’ve come, but on how far we have yet to go. Today and every day, we recommit to working in partnership with families, communities, and changemakers who are building a world where all children can grow up free.

Today, on Juneteenth, we honor the legacy of freedom and resilience. We remember that the promise of liberation did not arrive all at once but through generations of struggle, organizing, and truth-telling led by Black communities.
