We all need your help in getting Congress to stop the budget-cutting damage to Federal and other governments as they lose their capacity to help young children grow, their families to thrive, and us caregivers to be able to afford to work with them.
Government staffing and support at all levels is being threatened by the bungling budget cutters. NAEYC tells us that:
The House of Representatives recently advanced a budget resolution that threatens deep cuts to programs that many educators and families with young children rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, Pell Grants, and other critical safety net program.
As Congress negotiates funding for FY25, we urge you to tell lawmakers to prioritize increased funding for child care and early learning programs including the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), Head Start and Early Head Start, and IDEA Part B (619) and Part C to support the success of young children and families.
Go to the NAEYC Action Center to message your members of Congress and have your voice heard!
THANKS!
