The Child Care Modernization Act was introduced in the House & Senate! This bipartisan bill would expand access to affordable child care & give states flexibility to meet families where they are.
Thank you @RepMackenzie @RepSusieLee @RepAshleyHinson @repkmr for your leadership!

Federal funding for Head Start is so important for the development of young children in districts across the nation.
Thank you to the many lawmakers who signed onto the Head Start ‘Dear Colleague’ letter to speak up for this vital funding!
Check out the thread below to see all of the lawmakers who joined @RepJahanaHayes’ letter to show their support.

Quality, affordable child care helps communities thrive and provides valuable skills for our young kids to grow up to succeed. We must invest more to help families access these early learning programs.
Child care means business! 💼
Tax credits like 45F make it easier for businesses to support working parents and help them succeed.
