Child Care Assistance

For more and more families, paying for high-quality child care is a major struggle. And when families can’t afford care, women are often pushed out of the workforce altogether.

That’s why child care assistance is so vital. Child care assistance means that women aren’t pushed out of work, that families don’t take a financial hit, and that children can get a strong start toward success.
