Raising young kids is an emotional roller coaster. Birth is hard. The identity transformation is real. And society is not set up to help families balance work and helping tiny humans grow.
There’s a lot of info out there about early childhood. This newsletter is your place to get caught up on the big topics that are most important to you and your family. We do the heavy lifting for you to sort through the news and curate key reads and resources about issues affecting families with children ages 0–5. We share information about everything from how to navigate your first pregnancy and how state policies like transitional kindergarten affect early education, to what awesome children’s books to read next.
Sign up and tell us what questions have been on your mind lately. We may not have all the answers, but we’re pretty good at finding things out.
