Act today! Urge your federal representatives to invest at least $50 billion in the child care system.
Early care and education (ECE) is the backbone of the American economy. One-third of the American workforce has children, individuals will be unable to return to work without child care. In the economic recession of 2008, 30% of child care and education centers closed their doors for good. The ECE community only recently recovered from this crisis.
This current COVID-19 pandemic threatens the progress the child care system has made to date. We know that eighty percent of brain development occurs by age 5. We also know that so often, our most at-risk community members have the least access to quality early childhood education. This is something our organization has spent a long time addressing and we must have the necessary support to continue this work. A lack of investment today jeopardizes the opportunity at a fair shot tomorrow.
The child care system needs a $50 billion investment to ensure child care educators stay open throughout the pandemic and that there are enough emergency vouchers for emergency workers. In addition, the $50 billion will ensure that child care educators have access to the testing and personal protective equipment necessary to provide early childhood education safely. Congress must act now by making the appropriate investment. Take a minute to send an email to your elected officials today!
