Inside Boston’s child care center for homeless kids

Walking into the Edgerley Family Horizons Center in Boston, you’d never guess it’s a lifeline for kids facing homelessness. This isn’t just a daycare—it’s a place where every detail, from calming blue lights to cocoon swings, is designed to help little ones feel safe and supported. Teachers here are specially trained to nurture trust and emotional growth, making a real difference for children who’ve been through a lot. With homelessness among infants and toddlers rising, programs like this are more important than ever. How can we make sure more kids have access to spaces like this in our own communities? #Safety #Boston #ChildCare

Why Are So Many Babies Homeless Now?

Can you believe homelessness among infants and toddlers jumped 23% in just two years? Nearly half a million little ones in the US don’t have stable housing, and it’s not just families on the street—many are couch-surfing or packed into relatives’ homes. Rising rent, child care costs, and mental health struggles are pushing more families into crisis. Programs like Horizons are helping, but way more support is needed. Babies shouldn’t be homeless, period. #Safety #homelessness #childcare

Child care crunch hits New Hampshire families

Every day, parents in New Hampshire juggle the rising costs of rent, groceries, and health care—on top of worrying if they can even afford child care next month. Despite promises that business-friendly policies would make life easier, families and child care providers are feeling more squeezed than ever. Programs can’t hire more staff or lower tuition, and educators are struggling to keep up with their own bills. When child care becomes unstable, parents can’t work, businesses lose employees, and communities suffer. What changes would you want to see to make child care more accessible and affordable in our state? #Education #NewHampshire #ChildCare

Big boost for Mebane childcare options

Mebane families could soon see a major increase in childcare availability—almost 50% more spaces—thanks to a new rezoning approval for a large center on South Fifth Street. Children’s Campus, already serving hundreds in Chapel Hill and Durham, plans to open a facility for 200 kids here. With only six centers currently serving the city, this expansion could be a game-changer for working parents. Some neighbors raised concerns about site safety and future use, but the planning board gave a unanimous green light. What do you think—will this help meet Mebane’s growing needs? #Business #Mebane #Childcare

Albany JCC’s big move: More care for little ones

Albany families with babies and toddlers are about to get a huge boost—thanks to a major expansion at the Albany JCC. With local schools now offering free pre-K, the JCC is shifting gears to focus on what’s in highest demand: infant and toddler care. The center is adding new rooms, modernizing its spaces, and making after-school programs bigger and better. Plus, you don’t have to be a JCC member to enroll, and they accept child care vouchers. This could really change the game for working parents in Albany. What do you think—will this help ease the local child care crunch? #Safety #AlbanyNY #ChildCare
