As parents, you can be the most powerful advocates for your children—and your voice matters now more than ever. Tennessee’s early childhood care and education system shapes the future of our youngest learners, but it requires fine tuning and investments by state govenrment to ensure every child has access to high-quality programs from birth through third grade. Whether you’re navigating child care, preschool, or the early grades, sharing your experiences and stories can help state policymakers understand — and motivate them to act on — what maters to you and other families with young children.
By speaking up, sharing your journey, and connecting with others, you can help influence policies that put children and families first. Together, we can make sure Tennessee’s littlest learners have the strong start they deserve.
