 Take Action for Child Care!
The Administration's FY13 budget proposal in February. Many different budget proposals and ideas have been working their way through the House and Senate since then and their decisions will matter for child care centers and the children in our classrooms. And, several important bills have been introduced to support access to high-quality child care.
You're the expert on what needs to happen so that you can continue to supply high quality child care in your centers and in your communities. Tell your Senators and Representative to prioritize child care to ensure that more children get started on the path to success.
Parents and Teachers, Share Your Stories!
You can also share your story with Congress to tell them that we're counting on them to support child care because parents can't work without child care and early learning opportunities matter to young children. You can also share this link with parents so that they can tell Congress that continued funding is a way to make sure that children continue to have a chance at early education.
You Can Help Put Child Care on the Map for Your Member of Congress!
With your help, we plan to cover a lot of ground to make sure Members of Congress hear about child care in the communities they represent. We'll be working with advocates like you nationwide who know first-hand that child care matters. Together, we'll put child care on the map for Congress and then we'll put it on our OWN map. Let us know how you put child care on the map for Senators and Representatives!
ECEC will keep you up to date with information on what the budget process means for you. To prepare for action and spread the word, make sure everyone is signed up for Action Alerts from ECEC!
