On The Hill: Increased attention on child care and early learning this month means increased outreach from advocates needed. This is a critical moment to remind lawmakers of the importance of child care and early learning programs and their impact on young children and their families.
Federal child care programs are foundational to the health and well-being of our nation, strengthening families, young children, and economy. Funding for programs like the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and Head Start helps families in every state and Congressional district find and afford the child care and early learning they need. When Congress invests in these programs, it gives children a chance to learn and thrive, helps parents work or go to school, and builds a stronger economy for everyone.
Urge your Member of Congress to protect and prioritize funding for child care and early learning today!
