ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

In January we invited you to tell us how the economic downturn was impacting your program's enrollments. Today we want to follow up and see if things have gotten better or worse. Please help us by providing your input to today's Exchange Insta Poll, "Has Your Program Been Affected by the Economic Downturn?"

Then last month we invited you to participate in the Exchange Stimulus Package by sharing your ideas on how to make change happen in your program and community. You can now view the top 70 articles submitted in the FREE RESOURCES section on the Exchange home page. Last week over 1,500 of you cast votes in the Exchange Insta Poll on the top ten stimulus ideas. The top ten winners listed below receive $1,000 in gift certificates from the sponsors of the Exchange Stimulus Package — Community Playthings, Teaching Strategies, Inc., Kaplan Early Learning Company, and Exchange.
