Support Access to Child Care

When families have access to affordable, quality child care, our whole community benefits. Parents can work and support their households with peace of mind, knowing their children are safe and learning. Children develop the skills and confidence they need for school and life, while families gain stability and well-being. Together, this strengthens our workforce, drives economic growth, and builds a stronger future for everyone.

Quality child care isn’t a luxury – every child deserves to reach their potential
