It was great hearing leadership at SBA elevate the child care sector for its ā€œoutsized impactā€ on economic vitality and child development. Both matter.
From day one, @POTUS has prioritized expanding access to child care for all. Proud to convene a meeting on this topic today, with @SBAgov's new Child Care Task Force as well as incredible small business owners, lenders, leaders, and philanthropists from across the country.

Why do some employed caregivers prioritize child care benefits over a 401(k)? Because they fear risking their job to address gaps in their own child care needs. New research could lead to huge policy wins for the workforce and families šŸ†forbes.com/sites/christineca… #ece #earlyed

Fairly compensating educators for their role in our children's future is essential. We can navigate this without compromising childcare slots. We need policies that prioritize fair compensation for teachers while maintaining accessibility for families. apnews.com/article/preschool…
