For countless families, finding affordable child care is still a daily challenge. This month, Congress begins the Fiscal Year 2027 Appropriations process. The decisions made here will shape funding for child care and early learning programs, directly affecting hardworking families with young kids.
We need your help!
Programs like Early Head Start/Head Start, the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), and Preschool Development Grants Birth through Five (PDG B-5) help parents find and afford quality care and early learning for their young children. Right now, Members are sending “Dear Colleague” letters to rally support for these programs—your voice can help make a real difference!
Here’s why this is important: When more Members of Congress sign on to these “Dear Colleague” letters, it strengthens the case for child care funding and support. And that keeps child care within reach for more working families with young children.
Contact your Member of Congress today and urge them to sign on and show support for the child care and early learning programs our community needs.
