OM School

The state of California is refusing to allow providers a voice in covid relief policy! They have rejected our proposals and pleas for help! Please help! we need everyone we can get to call the Governor! Call Governor Gavin Newsom Today at: 1-844-243-9670... Tell him to negotiate with providers now! Here is the call script you can use: Governor Newsom, my name is _______ and I live in _____ County and I am a child care provider/parent/concerned citizen! Family child care providers and the families they serve need you to negotiate with the union (CCPU) over what we need to stay healthy and open during COVID-19. Come to the bargaining table NOW! Stop refusing to support and stabilize child care for providers and parents. Team please tell the providers you are in your network to do the following: Be sure to leave a message if no one picks up. The governor WILL get the message. We need to ring the alarm!! After you make your call, make sure that 5 providers, parents, and friends also make their call to the governor. This is URGENT. It will take all of us to make sure our voice is heard.

learning in place thus far... Everyday, we have a 30min circle time via zoom. We open with a checkin/hello song, then we go into the topic of the day based on the homework we provided the previous day. If there's time, we read a book and end with the song, "the more we get together." We also all planted snow pea plants from seed and measure it every week. The goal is to plant the seedlings in our backyard when we can come back together again.

"My kids have the rest of their lives to sit in a chair and listen to someone talk, Cull said. Childhood is so limited for things like playing and climbing trees and going on hikes. There’s so much foundational importance interwoven into these activities And it just lets them be kids for as long as they can. https://www.seattletimes.com//learning-in-nature-washingt/
