Proposed Federal FY2026 Budget: Limited Support for Family Child Care
The proposed FY2026 federal budget is a silent but serious threat to family child care.

Once again, home-based child care is left out—no mention, no investment, no accountability. This silence is not neutral. It’s systemic, and it’s dangerous.

Family child care educators are essential. They care for millions of children, support working families, and anchor local economies. Yet this budget proposal disregards their labor, their infrastructure, and their communities.
