For countless families, finding affordable child care is a challenge. The decisions made during the Fiscal Year 2027 Appropriations process will shape funding for child care and early learning programs, directly affecting hardworking families with young kids.

We need your help to ensure lawmakers protect and prioritize funding for federal early learning and child care programs.

It’s essential that members of Congress on both sides of the aisle prioritize funding for the programs that help parents find and afford early learning and care for their children. 

The federal programs that work together to support early learning and care include:  

• The Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program
• Head Start and Early Head Start, Early Head Start – Child Care Partnerships
• Preschool Development Grants Birth through Five (PDG B-5) 

Contact your Member of Congress today and urge them to show support for the child care and early learning programs working families need.
