Dear Parents, Child Care Providers, Friends, and Colleagues,

We need your help now! This will only take you 5 minutes.

A few weeks ago, we told you about the devastating budget cuts for child care subsidy being proposed in the Missouri House of Representatives.

Last Thursday, the House passed the budget without restoring the $51 million needed for child care subsidy funding, putting families and providers across Missouri at risk.

The budget now moves to the Senate, where it will be debated soon. Please email Missouri senators today and urge them to restore this funding.

Your message doesn't need to be long or formal; it can be 2–3 sentences. What matters most is that they hear from as many people as possible about how essential quality child care is for children, families, and our state.

Send a quick personal note, then share this message widely. Child care keeps Missouri running.

Below are the email addresses for Missouri state senators. Copy and paste them into your address bar and send your message today.

Every message matters. Please act for your community today.

Thank You

Deanna Finch

This is my absolute favorite way to teach color mixing in preschool! I set it up as an independent station in our science center, but we first demo it together: the kids take just a tiny pinch of each Play-Doh color, mix it, then bag it up to take home. And no, letting them mix it here doesn’t mean they’ll always mix Play-Doh at our regular Play-Doh table—this is a separate, intentional activity. You can find my color mixing chart at preschoolvibes.com.
