Call Congress: Prioritize Funding for Early Learning and Care Programs

Child care is one of the biggest expenses working families face, and federal funding is a lifeline for families, children, and our economy. Federal programs make it possible for more working parents to find and afford child care, but they need robust funding through appropriations. 

We need your help to ensure lawmakers prioritize funding for federal early learning and child care programs.

It’s essential that members of Congress on both sides of the aisle prioritize the programs that help parents find and afford early learning and care for their children. 

The federal programs that work together to support early learning and care include:  

• The Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program
• Head Start and Early Head Start, Early Head Start – Child Care Partnerships
• Preschool Development Grants Birth through Five (PDG B-5) 
• Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)

It is essential that lawmakers hear from YOU!
