State Legislative Talking Points

• Parents need access to child care in order to work.
• The cost of care is not affordable for too many families.
• Please support an increase in child care funding so that more families can receive help accessing child care.
• Additional funds would also help create recruitment and retention strategies for child care workers.
• Child care workers earn low pay. Other service sector jobs pay much more. 
• When programs can't hire or keep staff, families lose out. It means programs are able to serve fewer children.
• Increasing child care funding is an economic growth strategy for our state.
