Early Care & Education
Working for quality, affordable childcare, preschool and early education support for all families who need it.
Did you know that learning begins at birth & the brain develops faster between birth & age 3 than any other period of life? That is why early care & education is an important & critical development phase.
But, $10,000 per year, per child, for childcare is out of reach for many families.
All families should have access to high-quality affordable options for their children's early care & education — whether their children spend their days at home, in childcare, or preschool. Join us & spread the word!
