Baby Mylo said it best. Congress must stop playing politics with children’s lives. Families need solutions, not more chaos & cuts. They must pass a spending bill that invests in children, maintains health coverage and puts protections in place to ensure funding reaches families.

Early childhood educators earn just $13/hour. Parents spend up to 35% of their income on care. Centers are closing, and families face impossible choices.
Without bold public investment, the burden will keep falling on those who can least afford it.

Child care shouldn’t cost more than college. Or pay less than minimum wage.
Families can’t afford it. Centers are struggling to stay open. Early childhood educators deserve better.
