Child Care Action Alert: Act now to protect our children, families and economy

Posted on February 3, 2025

Federal funding for child care and early education is at risk—and the consequences for children, families, and our economy could be devastating. Without this essential funding, millions of families could lose access to the care they depend on, forcing parents out of work and putting child care providers at risk of closure.

Why This Matters:

đź”´ Children suffer - Without stable funding, many child care programs will be forced to close or cut services, leaving children without the quality early learning they need to thrive.

🔴 Families struggle - Without affordable, accessible child care, parents—especially working mothers—will be pushed out of the workforce, threatening their financial stability.

đź”´ The economy takes a hit - A collapsing child care system means fewer workers, lost productivity, and economic strain on families, businesses, and communities.

We Must Act NOW!
Congress must prioritize funding for child care—before it’s too late. Your voice can help secure the future of our children and keep families and communities strong.

Send a message to your elected officials NOW. Tell them: No cuts. No freezes. Protect child care funding for our children, families, and economy.

Thank you for speaking up and standing with children, families, and child care providers across the nation.
