Take Action! Urge Congress to Prioritize Funding for Child Care and Early Learning

Happening Now! Congress has until December 11 to finalize the FY2027 spending package, giving us an important window of opportunity to support families with young children.

Take action today! Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to prioritize and increase funding for programs that help families access affordable, quality early learning and child care, including:

• 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) 

These programs serve families and children in all 50 states, yet reach only a fraction of those eligible. Prioritizing and increasing funding would help more families find and afford the quality care they need while also strengthening the workforce, supporting employers, and growing our economy. 

Contact your Members of Congress today using the action below.
