SUMMARY:Start Strong PA Provider and Family Field Forums: Building a Stronger Child Care System through the American Rescue Plan
DESCRIPTION:Child care providers and families are invited to virtual forums to share their pandemic experiences and make recommendations for how they feel the American Rescue Plan federal dollars should be spent in Pennsylvania. \nAbout\nStart Strong PA is hosting virtual forums to gather feedback from child care providers and the families they serve in order to make recommendations to the Wolf Administration for how the American Rescue Plan funds should be spent. \nThe American Rescue Plan includes $24 billion for child care stabilization\, $15 billion for the Child Care Development Block Grant\, and $3.55 billion in the Child Care Entitlement to States. Pennsylvania is estimated to be awarded $1.18 billion.  \nThe child care sector was in crisis before the COVID-19 pandemic\, with eligible families unable to access child care subsidy\, poverty-level wages for early childhood educators\, and razor thin margins for providers. The child care sector has been pushed to the brink of collapse by the pandemic. Federal relief over the last year has helped many providers\, however between March 2020 and February 2021\, 592 Pennsylvania providers have closed permanently and 363 have temporarily closed.  Child care providers are still incurring additional pandemic related costs while operating significantly under capacity.  \nRegister\n\nAllegheny County Forum | May 4\, 2021\n10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.\nRegister\nSouthwestern PA Forum | May 11\, 2021\n(Lawrence\, Butler\, Armstrong\, Indiana\, Somerset\, Fayette\, Greene\, Washington\, Beaver\, and Westmoreland counties)\n10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.\nRegister\n\nBoth forums will be held virtually via Zoom. Registration is required to receive an attendance link. \n
