In a perfect world Congress would pass a bill that would …

• Lower child care costs for low-income and middle-income families to a maximum of seven percent of household income through a sliding scale, regardless of how many children they have.
• Support universal access to high-quality preschool programs for all low- and middle-income three- and four-year-olds.
• Significantly improve compensation and training for the child care workforce to ensure that our nation’s teachers and caregivers have the support they need.
• Improve the quality of child care by ensuring that funding is available to enable providers to maintain high standards.

The good news is a bill like this exists – it’s called the Child Care for Working Families Act. It was introduced in September, with our own Senator Bob Casey helping to lead the charge, but for this bill to move forward, we need you to speak out.
