Affordable childcare is a huge concern for most families.

Not only could this bill expand access to high-quality child care for families, but it sets provider rates (that are subsidized with vouchers) at a high enough level to help ensure a living wage for all child care workers.
And it expands access to early childhood developmental services for children with special needs.

My niece is a single mother expecting a baby, and will benefit greatly from this. Her two daughters are now in first grade, but as a single mother needs affordable care for the new baby girl.

Plus, thousands of other families will be helped by this bill. Thank you, Senator Murray!

A lack of high quality and affordable childcare are two factors that can undermine school readiness and life-long learning.

I'm thrilled that our Democrats are proposing this legislation!

since she is such an enormous influence on her DADDY and a crusader for working mothers and their children. Did I miss something?

She would have championed #ChildCare4All instead of child care credit for the rich.
