So we did a thing… and it led to the “higher-ups” calling us personally with encouraging news.

Especially Children and the Childcare Tribe is leading the way and making noise at the federal, state, and local levels. They are talking about us in legislative meetings and amongst politicians and decision makers.

Here’s why that matters:

Pausing the Working Families Child Care Scholarship Program hurts families, employers, and our entire community.

Without subsidies, parents can’t work.
Without work, families can’t survive.
Without employees, businesses suffer.

Childcare isn’t just a family issue — it’s a workforce and economic issue.

We’re not just talking about it. We’re writing letters, making calls, and meeting with legislators to advocate for real solutions.

Because the truth is simple:

“Work” doesn’t work without childcare.”
