Add your name to our letter to save Head Start and Child Care funding
Child Care is Essential - Increase Federal Funding
Safe, quality, affordable child care gets people to work, helps them provide for their families, supports the workforce businesses need, prepares children for success in school and life. It's essential for a growing economy.
Westchester center-based child care for infants averages over $24,000! Almost every family struggles with their child care bills.
There is talk in Washington of cutting Head Start and level-funding child care. Please tell your elected officials to vigorously support and pass the FY24 appropriations bill with significant increases for all early childhood education programs.
