Access to High-Quality, Affordable Child Care and Early Education.

This House of Representatives resolution emphasizes the need to ensure all families have access to high-quality, affordable child care and early education. It aims to support working parents, improve child development, and strengthen the economy. Implementing these changes could significantly reduce child care costs for families and increase the availability of care options.
Key points
Ensuring no family pays more than 7% of their income for child care, with the most in need paying nothing.
Increasing the availability of child care, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate flexible parent work schedules.
Improving the quality of care by ensuring living wages for child care workers, pay parity with K-12 staff, and investments in facility infrastructure.
Expanding access to Head Start programs and universal preschool for 3 and 4-year-olds.
