Good News for New Jersey Kids and Families in this Year’s State Budget
There are many positive budget highlights for children & families, but it leaves a critical need for low-income working families unaddressed.
Join Think Babies and Act! Day of Action.
Today ZERO TO THREE and partners across the country will tell Senators to Think Babies and Act!™ when funding programs for babies and families.
What an amazing time for NJ children!
What an amazing two weeks for child advocacy – more money for preschool in Governor Murphy’s proposed budget, bills addressing chronic absenteeism as well as access to school breakfast on a fast track in Trenton and a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Abbott preschool. Plus – it’s official! ACNJ is part of the national Think Babies campaign.
Another State Budget that Shortchanges Young Children
Failing to expand state-funded preschool is not the state’s only shortcoming. Child care subsidies, which help low-income families work, have not increased since 2008.
