💭 Thoughts on this complicated topic?

Between 2019 and 2021, California lost more than 1,100 licensed childcare facilities and nearly 19,000 licensed spaces—more spaces than the number of children in Mendocino or 21 other California counties.

In 2021, child care spaces were unavailable for nearly a quarter of California children ages 0 to 12 with working parents.

@Truchet_Nested I bought hexagonal tiles made with cardboard, in Australia I think, that had different arc “roads” connecting the midpoints of the sides. The preschool children loved them, but I could not get more. I thought there were 4 different tiles in the sets I bought at a math/science store in Seattle around 1990. Are there tiles for Truchet? #earlyeducation #edutoot #math
