Upgrade the Jobs, Not the Workers,
for Sustainable Child Care
Social Justice for Young Children Conversation Series Blog

Amidst the complexities of modern-day parenting, one truth remains constant: it takes a village. Yet, caregivers, parents, and advocates often find themselves grappling with a system that fails to adequately support the vital work of raising young children. National Domestic Workers Alliance President, Ai-jen Poo, suggests a transformative approach to address this challenge in a compelling new blog post for the Foundation for Child Development's Social Justice for Young Children Conversation Series.

“No social issue is a single issue, and we see the power in building coalitions to address the two key economic barriers to our kids getting the care they deserve: affordability of care and strength of the care workforce.”


In this latest addition to the Conversation Series, Ai-jen delves into the pressing issues surrounding child care and the essential role of care workers in the United States.
Drawing from her extensive experience and advocacy work, she offers a unique perspective and solutions to address the realities faced by families and early care and education professionals alike.

Join the conversation on building a more equitable and sustainable child care system for young children, parents, and care workers across our country. #FCDConversationSeries
