Share New State Fact Sheets with your Member of Congress!

First Five Years Fund has recently released brand new ECE State Fact Sheets detailing how the investments in child care and early learning help families, kids, and the economy in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. 

Did you know?

• Federal and state early learning opportunities serve more than 4.2 million children and families, or 18% of children ages 5 and under.
• 65% of children 5 and under have all available parents in the workforce. 
• 39% of a single-parent family’s income is spent on center-based infant care for one child.

FFYF’s new State Fact Sheets show how federal funding for child care and early learning opportunities are vital to local families and communities – and in need of robust funding from Congress.

Share these fact sheets with your Senators and Member of Congress to demonstrate that investments in child care programs are vital to families across the country!
