Federal Child C.A.R.E Coalition

The Federal Child Care Advocacy for Resources in Early Learning Coalition brings together a broad and diverse range of organizations, sectors, and networks to maximize individual capacity and impact.

This collaboration provides a way groups can strategically work together to secure big gains for early learning and child care at the federal level while also addressing the tremendous challenges facing families today.

Our collective focus is on strong federal investment and smart policies that protect, prioritize, and build accessible, affordable, high-quality care. Our goals are to support a qualified workforce, strengthen current child care and early learning programs, and improve access and affordability for families.

This work is bipartisan. Together, we look to maintain broad support and curb efforts to politicize this issue in order to preserve and expand upon hard fought success.

Please contact Coalition and Campaign Manager, Joe O’Hern, with any questions.
