Buffett Institute – Nebraskas Child Care Problems Hurt Businesses and States Bottom Line Lawmakers Learn at Hearing

Mariah Stowe, owner of Splash of Color Child Care in Lincoln, told senators that the decision to remain open was difficult. “It finally came down to the fact that we couldn’t afford to close,” she said. State officials say that in the past six months, 63 licensed child cares have closed permanently, and another 224 are still closed temporarily.

By Matthew Hansen, Managing Editor

A Lincoln child care provider whose business teeters on the brink of closing showed up at the Nebraska State Capitol recently. So did University of Nebraska President Ted Carter, to tell state lawmakers that a college student’s future success is tethered to early childhood education.

A business leader showed up, because she knows her employees quit when their paychecks don’t meet the cost and stress of finding child care. A bevy of experts did, too, to deliver state senators economic research showing that Nebraska is losing hundreds of millions each year because of inadequate child care—and will lose far more if child care providers continue to disappear during the COVID-19 pandemic. And Sen. John Stinner, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, showed up as well. He called the hearing and argued that there’s a pragmatic business case to better fund child care.

On a recent sunny morning, a patchwork quilt of Nebraskans arrived at the Capitol to deliver and detail the following messages to the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee:

Nebraska’s child care system is struggling. It is struggling even more this year. Together, and only together, Nebraskans can rebuild it better.

“We are unified in our desire to have high-quality, well-funded early childhood programs in the state of Nebraska,” said Marjorie Kostelnik, former dean of UNL’s College of Education and Human Sciences and the co-chair of the Nebraska Early Childhood Workforce Commission, which earlier this year released a path forward for improving Nebraska child care.

Sens. Tony Vargas and Anna Wishart

Nebraskans who testified in front of the Appropriations Committee Sept. 29 told lawmakers that the state and state government need to address serious short- and long-term problems.

This fall, the pandemic is threatening the very existence of many Nebraska child care centers and in-home providers.

In the past six months, 63 licensed child cares have closed permanently, according to state officials. Another 224 are still closed temporarily, and it’s unclear how many of those will actually reopen.

This means that nearly 10 percent of the state’s licensed child care centers and in-home providers aren’t currently caring for children, alarming since Nebraska families already faced a serious child care shortage before 2020.

Currently open child care providers are also struggling. Kathleen Gallagher, director of research and evaluation at the Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska, told senators that a recent statewide survey showed that one out of every four providers has lost at least half their revenue this year. More than half surveyed said that, without financial assistance, they will probably or definitely close their doors if the pandemic continues or worsens.

Mariah Stowe, owner of Splash of Color Child Care in Lincoln, walked state senators through the wrenching decision-making process to stay open this spring. On the one hand, it felt dangerous to remain open for her, her employees, and the children in her care. There’s no one to socially distance toddlers, she said. On the other hand: She has bills to pay. “It finally came down to the fact that we couldn’t afford to close,” Stowe told the Appropriations Committee.

Stowe continued operating but lost half of her 12 children, whose parents had decided to keep them home. She lost revenue. She is proudly continuing to care for the kids of parents who work at three different Lincoln hospitals—essential workers who need essential child care to do their jobs.

But that pride is not profit.

Stowe told lawmakers that her husband’s steady income is the main reason Splash of Color stayed open.

“Without that, we likely would have made another choice,” she said.

Making it past the pandemic will not cure what ails Nebraska’s child care system, experts told state lawmakers.

Because of a lack of funding in the system, early childhood teachers are poorly paid and child care owners often struggle. Even when middle-class parents can find child care—no easy feat since there’s a shortage of child care in almost every Nebraska county—they often can’t afford to pay for it at prices that sometimes zoom past the cost of college tuition.

This lack of funding and rampant shortages hurt Nebraska parents, employers, communities, and the state itself, a recent report from UNL economists and First Five Nebraska showed.

The state loses $745 million annually because parents drop out of the workforce, miss work, turn down a promotion, or simply move because of a lack of child care.

We can’t expect Nebraska’s child care system to properly function at current funding levels, said Cathey Huddleston-Casas, the Buffett Institute’s associate director of workforce development.

“We must shift to a model where the funding reflects the size of economy the system is designed to serve,” Huddleston-Casas said. “If we aspire to a larger, more robust economy in Nebraska, then we aspire to a robust early care and education system as well.”

Many testifiers and the chairman of the Appropriations Committee himself say that Nebraskans are already working toward solutions.

The Nebraska Early Childhood Workforce Commission, a diverse group of 40 Nebraskans including Stinner, released a report earlier this year that included the first-ever analysis of how much money is spent on early childhood in Nebraska—and how much we must spend to fully fund the system and ensure that every young child gets the chance for quality care and education.

(Read the report here)

The goal: Close the gap by 2030, using money from the federal government, state government, philanthropists, and private sources like businesses and families.

Sen. John Stinner

Stinner and the Nebraska Legislature have kicked off a legislative study, with a report due in December, to examine these issues and the economic impact of COVID on the early childhood workforce.

During and after the hearing, the Republican state senator from Scotts Bluff County expressed support for doing more to close that funding gap.

He pointed out that the State of Nebraska just passed a $125 million property tax relief bill, and compared that to a situation where the state would need to come up with $110 million for early childhood education in the next decade.

“Is this something, priority-wise, that resonates with people across this state? Is this something we need to get done?” he asked.

And Stinner kept returning to the massive amounts of money Nebraska loses every year, as well as what we will lose in the future if the state’s youngest residents don’t get quality early childhood education and thus aren’t ready for Kindergarten, high school, college, or the workforce.

“That’s part of the business argument” for improved early childhood care and education, he said. “If we don’t do anything, this is going to be a lingering cost and quite possibly a growing cost.”

Inside a blank-walled hearing room at the State Capitol, that sentiment is what united the University of Nebraska president, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, early childhood experts, corporate leaders, and the owner of a small business currently caring for children whose parents work at Lincoln hospitals.

We have to do something about Nebraska child care, they all think. We have to act, and soon.

A person who has not played games successfully

Your fourteenth step through the thorns to the stars – MegaLectures

Realize that there is a small difference between failure and success that decides everything

Take the time to write down your goals and important reasons for achieving them. Then make a list of the actions you are willing to take to achieve those goals. Try to understand what you might fail in the process. This will prepare you for future challenges, and it will help you show more perseverance and perseverance.

What matters is what you do when you encounter an obstacle

Experience is not what happens to you, but how you manage it.

Aldous Huxley

You may have heard the following statement from President Calvin Coolidge. McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc liked to quote him:

“Nothing in the whole world can replace perseverance. Talent cannot replace it – many talented people turn out to be failures. Genius cannot replace it – the expression “unrecognized genius” has become a proverb. Education does not replace it – the world is full of educated outcasts. Only perseverance and perseverance are all-powerful.”

However, I have to disagree with this statement. Perseverance is important, but it is not the only key to success. I think that, in addition to stability, you need one more quality. An old proverb about boxers says, “The champion gets up one more time than he gets knocked down.” When he does just that, he wins in the end – unless, of course, he gets brainwashed first. But who would like this outcome? But the boxer will be in a much better position if he does not allow himself to be knocked down at all. And there is only one way to do this – by knocking out your opponent.

The man who didn’t play games successfully

That’s exactly what you could say about Milton Bradley. He understood what he had to do in order not to fall. He began his career at the age of twenty, working as an engraver. It was 1865. By 1860 he had earned enough money to buy a printing press and produce his own lithographs.

First, he came up with the idea of ​​making a lithograph of US President Abraham Lincoln. When he put this lithograph up for sale, orders poured in. However, a problem soon arose. His engraving showed a clean-shaven Lincoln, while the president had already grown a beard. This circumstance nearly ruined Bradley’s business.

Trying to cope with the first obstacle in his life, he decided to try something completely different – to release a board game. When he was a child, his parents taught him and their other children through games. Bradley invented the board game concept called Checkered Life. This game taught moral values. He designed and printed the first copy. Checkered Life was the first board game to be published in the US and sold well, selling 40,000 copies in its first year alone.

New interests and plans

This first success gave a new direction to Bradley’s life. He turned his attention to the production of games and other means that stimulated the mind and educated people while entertaining them. Initially, he was engaged in games. But soon he wanted to take a closer look at the means of education. At that time, the first kindergartens appeared in America, and Bradley became interested in this idea.

He saw kindergarten as a big market for teaching aids and wanted to be the first American to publish kindergarten materials in English. He wanted to make bricks for building blocks, art supplies and other things, intending to focus on this production.

But his business partners opposed these intentions. The company was operating in an economic downturn, and it seemed to them that operating in a new risky area could lead to the collapse of the company. However, Bradley was adamant. He promoted his plan and achieved considerable success. “In the early years, my colleagues, friends and financial statements were against me, and only faith in the ultimate triumph of the principles of kindergarten carried me through grief and disappointment,” said Milton.

Bradley soon became one of the key figures in the development of America’s kindergarten system. He published many teaching aids and even published a respectable Kindergarten Review. In doing so, Bradley had a profound impact on the lives of many thousands of children.

How to get up after being knocked down

You may have developed the tenacity and perseverance that allows you to get up every time; when you are knocked down, but you are tired of getting back on your feet without any progress. You may be physically and emotionally exhausted, in which case you need more than just getting back on your feet. You need a plan outlining what you need to do after that. Apply the principles below.

Clearly define goals

In the previous chapter, I wrote about the importance of goals and the pursuit of them. The next step is to determine the desired goal. A boxer who rises to his feet after a knockdown has a clear goal – to bring down his opponent. Milton Bradley also had his own goal – to produce teaching aids for kindergarten. You also need to define your goal. Keep in mind that

• the goal determines the plan;

• the plan defines the action;

• action leads to a result;

• the result brings success.

Without clearly defined goals, you will not be able to turn failure into success. George Matthew Adams states: “In this life we ​​get only what we persistently strive for and are willing to make sacrifices. It is better to strive for some goal – at the risk of not even achieving it – than to arrive at something that you do not want. If we look long enough for what we want to achieve in life, we will almost certainly find it—whatever our goal may be.”

Make a definite plan

A long time ago, Benjamin Franklin said, “If you don’t prepare well, you set yourself up for failure. ”

There is no guarantee that all plans will work out exactly as you expect, but otherwise your chances of success are very slim.

The novelist Victor Hugo said: “A person who plans the events of the day every morning and follows this plan has a guiding thread leading him through the intricate labyrinth of life. And when there is no plan and time flows by chance, chaos soon takes over.” The Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes said: “If we are ready for battle, then we can consider that half of the victory is already ours.”

Take the risk to act

Planning by itself does not mean success. It is necessary to act. Conrad Hilton said: “Success comes with action. Successful people don’t stop halfway.” Implementing a plan comes with risks. And this is good, because otherwise nothing significant will happen. You must take risks if you want to cross the finish line. Larry Osborne talks about risk this way: “Successful leaders disregard opinions and take risks. There are always key moments in their lives when they take significant risks and achieve success.”

Do not be afraid to make mistakes

I hope that by now you have understood that mistakes should not be feared. Mistakes signal that you are entering new territory, exploring new space, and moving forward. An old English proverb says: “He who makes no mistakes does nothing.” (If you’re still having a hard time accepting this idea, I recommend going back and rereading the previous chapters. The only way to learn how to win by overcoming setbacks is to accept mistakes as a natural part of life, learn from them, and improve.)

Show strength of character

Whenever you make a mistake and try to go through hardships to the stars, your character is tested. There are times when it’s easier to give up than to keep fighting. At such moments, only the strength of character can help you keep the same course.

Pat Riley, coach of one of the multiple NBA champion basketball teams, said: “Sometimes there comes a moment that decides the fate of defeat or victory.
