Since taking office on January 20, the Trump Administration has continually undermined families’ access to child care and early education programs, directly targeting families with low incomes and families of color.
The administration’s harmful actions have forced Head Start programs to close; instilled fear and uncertainty in children and families—particularly among immigrants; decimated essential staff in the federal agencies that support early childhood programs; and more.
CLASP’s new fact sheet documents the administration's changes to child care and early education during their first year in office, along with an overview of the responsive actions taken to defend key programs.
The timeline and detailed documentation make clear the need for continued advocacy and support to ensure that providers, children, and families are protected from the impact of these actions.
