Arizona’s child care waitlist now has almost 10,000 kids on it! That’s 10,000 lives on hold due to unaffordable child care! #10000Kids #ChildcareWaitlist

Arizona Parents! DES is opening up the child care assistance wait list! Letters were sent to eligible families on July 11th. Families MUST reply by July 25th in order to reprocess their applications. Don't miss out on this opportunity to access high quality early education!

Arizona’s Head Start program is in crisis mode. Federal funding freezes, a near-elimination of the program and new delays are hitting providers hard. What happens when a lifeline for thousands gets cut midstream? (🔗 in bio)

In Arizona, parents are being forced to choose between their jobs and their kids — again. After years of pandemic relief, childcare subsidies are drying up, and the state’s waitlist for them is growing. Spoiler alert: There’s no clear solution in sight. (🔗 in bio)

30% of US children under 13 qualify for a CCDBG subsidy under federal income limits, but only 20% are eligible under state requirements. Strict income thresholds at the state level are often the result of limited resources and other state policy decisions. clasp.org/publications/repor…

The crisis is only going to continue to grow unless we do something different!

During a @SenateFinance hearing today, our CEO @FGossGraves emphasized what millions of families and early educators know all too well: our child care crisis sector is in crisis.
But, we also know the solutions that work.
