Join us in convening stakeholders to create innovative child care solutions for all working families. Mothers contribute significantly to family income, yet high child care costs lead to a decline in labor force participation. Our key issues include family-friendly policies, reducing child care costs, and increasing access through employer-led innovations. Our work in action involves a national discussion, listening sessions, and a child care database. Administration initiatives include investments in affordable child care, with a funding increase to the Child Care and Development Fund. Be part of the movement to tackle the challenges of inadequate child care and foster a more inclusive workforce.
