Toddlers know how to make EVERY moment an adventure! 💛🫧🎨
From bubble chasing and messy masterpieces to tiny hand-holding friendships and outdoor exploring, our toddler room has been BUSY making memories lately!
These little learners are growing so much every day — building confidence, social skills, creativity, and independence through play, laughter, and hands-on fun. And honestly… the messy tables, paint-covered hands, and silly smiles are some of our favorite parts. 🫶
Watching friendships bloom this young is something truly special. ☀️

Tell Policymakers: Clear the Child Care Waitlist - TQEE 02/12/2026

https://www.tqee.org/tell-policymakers-clear-the-child-care-waitlist/

Across Tennessee, working families are facing an impossible choice: keep their jobs or care for their children.

Last year, Tennessee’s federal child care funding was reduced by $44.5 million. In response, access to the Smart Steps Child Care Assistance Program was frozen — creating waitlists for thousands of otherwise eligible low-income working families.

Smart Steps helps parents afford licensed child care so they can remain in the workforce. When access was paused:

-Families lost the assistance that made care affordable
-Parents were forced to cut work hours or leave jobs altogether
-Child care providers lost enrollment and revenue
-Some families turned to unregulated care out of desperation
-Even as families struggle, more than $190 million in Tennessee’s federal TANF reserve funds remain unused.

For households already living paycheck to paycheck, the loss of child care support has created immediate financial strain — impacting employment, housing stability, and food security.

Tennessee’s economy depends on working families. And working families depend on child care.

Tell Policymakers: Clear the Child Care Waitlist - TQEE Tennessee paused Smart Steps child care assistance, leaving thousands on a waitlist. Support SB 1921 / HB 2358 to use existing TANF reserves and restore access for working families.
