Advancing Equitable State Child Care Policies Using ARPA & Other Relief Funds 

During a time of historic COVID-related federal investment in child care and early education, states are working to leverage this opportunity to provide significant relief and recovery to providers and families. As parents continue to struggle to find child care, and child care workforce shortages reduce their options, states must act quickly to commit their remaining relief funds and get them out the door, while supporting policy changes that set the stage for future federal investments.

In a new brief ([link removed]), Alyssa Fortner, Tiffany Ferrette, and Christine Johnson-Staub highlight the actions select states have implemented to make the most of this critical time and opportunity. These approaches are moving the system toward equity and expanding access to child care.

By engaging in these efforts, states are making the case for continued, larger investments in the child care system and for broader federal eligibility for families to qualify for assistance. Current and future investments in child care will support working families, children, the providers who undergird the economy, and our nation as a whole.
