Americans are increasingly worried about affordability, and for many parents, the cost of child care is one of the largest and most unavoidable expenses.
This leaves many families facing difficult questions. Can I afford to stay at my job? How will we pay for child care and rent this month? What happens if we go into debt over child care costs?
Congress can help. Prioritizing federal child care programs is one of the most direct ways to make life more affordable for parents with young children. Programs like the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) help families afford quality child care and early learning for their little ones.
Take a moment today to urge your Members of Congress to make life affordable for families with young children by supporting federal child care programs!
