CONNECTICUT’S CHILD CARE SYSTEM IS BROKEN.
IT’S TIME TO FIX IT.
THE COST IS TOO HIGH.
In fact, Connecticut families pay more for child care than anywhere else in the country.
THE PAY FOR CHILD CARE WORKERS IS TOO LOW.
This drives down the quality of care, forces classrooms to close, and reduces the number of children who can be served.
THE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR STATE’S ECONOMY IS MASSIVE.
We lose $1.5 billion in earnings, productivity, and revenue each year.
Connecticut’s child care crisis is hurting children, families, and the economy.
SOMETHING MUST CHANGE.
We’re fighting to pass laws that will fully and permanently invest in an equitable child care system so our children, families, and economy can thrive.
Our state leaders must ensure that:
Every family has access to high-quality child care programs that are affordable, costing no more than 7% of their household income
Every child care program can attract and retain the experienced educators they need to provide quality care
Every child has early care and education that prepares them to succeed in kindergarten and beyond
PARENTS, PROVIDERS, BUSINESS LEADERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE UNITED. JOIN OUR FIGHT!
