Dear John,


As our fiscal year comes to a close,
[link removed]
we urgently need your help. Child care services are in high demand across the country. Nearly half of the neighborhoods in the U.S. lack adequate child care options, and since the start of the pandemic, 15,856 providers have closed their doors, only making it harder for parents to find the care they need.


Compared to other developed countries, the United States invests significantly less in early childhood education and child care. Which means – it’s expensive and centers are running on razor-thin profit margins. Moreover, child care workers often struggle to make ends meet, making it hard to attract and retain qualified caregivers. While some families can afford to drop out of the workforce, or manage to spend 30% or more of their income on child care, families in under-resourced communities aren’t so “lucky” and children are falling behind.
