Child Care for Working Families Act |
|
|
ORAEYC is proud to stand with NAEYC in supporting the Child Care for Working Families Act because Americans need a comprehensive public investment that delivers on the science of early learning
and advances our current and future workforce. Far from attending to only one piece of the puzzle, this important piece of legislation would pair federal investment with state partnerships to dramatically expand access, address affordability, increase quality, and invest in early childhood education professionals.
Decades of research have told us too much about the critical nature of the early years, and the benefits that accrue to individuals and to society when we invest in those years for us to continue to sell our children, families, educators, and economy short. We thank Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and Representative Bobby Scott (D-VA3) for their leadership in introducing this bill, and we encourage all members of Congress to support it, heeding the calls of American across all political, geographic, and demographic backgrounds who know that investing in high-quality early childhood education and early childhood educators will make America brighter, stronger, and more competitive.
Lives will change when legislation changes—and that’s why we need your help! Please take a moment right now to call your members of Congress and ask if they have cosponsored the Child Care for Working Families Act. If they have, please thank them for supporting child care and early learning! If they haven’t yet added their name, ask them to become a cosponsor of the Child Care for Working Families Act. And finally, show your support on social media by using #ChildCare4All. |
