Remember that first day of school feeling, Friend? As summer winds down, kids across America are getting those familiar butterflies.
But for many children living in poverty, it’s not excitement… it’s anxiety.
After months without access to any learning opportunities, they’re worried about keeping up with their classmates.
Child care can help bridge that gap, Friend — setting kids up for success from the start. Please, tell Congress to invest in their futures!
Friend, the earlier a child starts learning, the brighter their future will be. But high-quality care is notoriously inaccessible in the U.S.
The average parent pays more than $10,000 on child care each year, a steep cost many just can’t afford. That means millions of soon-to-be students aren’t getting the tools they need to thrive — and Congress is considering funding cuts that’d impact even more.
