Due to childcare issues, California loses 2,666,809 hours of work for a total of $57,385,668 in lost wages per week. When we compensate providers equitably for the work they do, we increase the supply of reliable childcare in CA #ECE https://t.co/ZeUXVwyWGa

The Jackie Walorski Maternal & Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act has passed out of Committee unanimously! Thank you to @WaysMeansCmte and @WaysandMeansGOP for your tireless work on this critical bipartisan legislation to reauthorize, expand and strengthen #MIECHV

💙Give #California families the opportunities they deserve!

"Not all working parents need 12 hours of care, but many need care beyond the school day." W/o a mixed delivery system + #afterschool programming, parents will continue risking their livelihood as they search for #affordable programs for their #children. https://t.co/ylZ1sdtYki

[ReadyNation CA @ReadyNationCA]

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program empowers families with the resources they need to be successful. With the window for reauthorization closing, we are watching to see whether Congress acts before the program’s expiration in 30 days.

#AB1705 moves on to the Governor's desk after passing out of the Senate today! California is one step closer to reforming remedial placement policies that delay California community college students from achieving their goals.

[CCRC4Kids @CCRC4KIDS]

#Childcare doesn’t just take place during your 9-5. It happens on weekends, overnights, during hours that make sense for your family. See if you qualify to get help paying for child care when you and your little ones need it most. Apply here: https://t.co/RO3yrBZV8w
