Parents & Caregivers ARE ORGANIZING FOR FULLY FUNDED CHILDCARE
Childcare is a public good. All parents deserve the childcare they need to balance work, rest, and joy – and all young children deserve joyful, safe spaces to socialize and grow.
But right now, the private market provides the vast majority of childcare hours – with costs to parents that exceed college tuition, while still not paying early educators the thriving wage their care deserves.
Building something better will take all of us.
