Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO ADVANCE STATE POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT ENSURE ALL TENNESSEE CHILDREN BIRTH THROUGH 3RD GRADE GET THE HIGH QUALITY EARLY EDUCATINO THEY NEED TO POWER OUR STATE'S FUTURE.
TQEEPR ISSUED A GRANT TO TQEE FOR LOBBYING THE TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. THIS INCLUDED A VERY SUCCESSFUL DAY ON THE HILL WITH 100+ ADVOCATES VISITING WITH 70+ LEGISLATORS; A SERIES OF LEGISLATOR SITE VISITS TO PREK AND CHILD CARE CENTERS ACROSS THE STATE; MEETINGS WITH POLICYMAKERS TO ADVOCATE FOR BETTER USE OF TANF AND CCDF FUNDS AND REGULAR LOBBYING OF LEGISLATORS DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THIS RESULTED IN ANOTHER EXPANSION OF THE EVIDENCE BASED HOME VISITING BUDGET AND SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE OF THE TENNESSEE VPK PROGRAM AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD HAVE SIPHONED FUNDS FROM IT; AND LED TO TWO BILLS FOR THE 2020 SESSION THAT WOULD IMPROVE TANF AND CHILD CARE.
TQEEPR'S POLICY AND RESEARCH PERSONNEL CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON BEST PRACTICES, POLICIES AND FUNDING/FINANCING; PRODUCED MULTIPLE WHITE PAPERS, POLICY BRIEFS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS; AND FACILITATED REGULAR INPUT FROM POLICY ADVISORS ACROSS THE STATE TO INFORM TQEE'S POLICY AGENDA.

FIX THE CHILD CARE CRISIS", THE REPORT WAS PRODUCED BY THE TQEEPR TEAM AND SPONSORED BY CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND OTHER BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE STATE. IT WAS PRODUCED TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE ADVERSE IMPACT THAT CHILD CARE CHALLENGES OF AFFORDABILITY, QUALITY AND ACCESS ARE HAVING AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON TENNESSEE'S WORKFORCE AND OUR ECONOMY.
