“Pat! You need to Listen!” 👂

That was the important reminder one of our youngest learners shared with Congressman Pat Ryan during his visit to DAY ONE. And listen he did.

Congressman Ryan joined families, childcare providers, educators and community partners for a roundtable discussion focused on the challenges facing early childhood care and education, including affordability, access and the early childhood workforce.

We’re grateful to everyone who shared their experiences and ideas, and to Congressman Ryan for creating space to listen directly to our community.

The KC-4 cohort has officially graduated from TAP, the 4th cohort in Kingston and the very first cohort ever completed in Spanish! This group showed commitment, resilience, and a desire to grow. We’re so proud of every graduate who put in the work and finished strong.

This isn’t just a graduation, it’s the start of new opportunities, stronger families, and a brighter future for our community. 

Congratulations KC-4! You made history. 👏✨
