Why Advocacy Matters
The need for accessible, affordable child care has never been greater. Families face countless challenges in finding quality care that is both affordable and flexible. Early childhood educators deserve better wages and support, and policies need to prioritize the needs of children and working parents.
Our advocacy efforts focus on creating policies that:
- Increase funding for child care subsidies
- Improve wages and working conditions for early childhood educators
- Expand access to affordable child care for all families
- Ensure a high standard of care for every child
