Transition Letter: Child Care and Early Learning Priorities for the Incoming Trump Administration
First Five Years Fund (FFYF) and 87 national and state organizations have sent a letter to President-Elect Trump urging his administration to continue supporting the fundamental needs of America’s children, families, employers, and child care providers by prioritizing child care and early learning. From the letter:
“As partners of the Coalition, we support an “all of the above” strategy that gives families a wider range of options to meet their child care needs. This includes strengthening and prioritizing investments in trusted federal programs; enhancing tax provisions that help working families with child care expenses while encouraging employers who want to help provide access to care; bolstering efforts to expand the supply of child care while attracting a well-qualified child care workforce; and ensuring more children have access to the quality care and early learning opportunities that will help them succeed.”
