💨 Abstract

A coalition of child care advocacy groups met with D.C. Council members and staff on April 22, 2025, urging them to maintain funding for early childhood education and care programs. The threatened cuts could eliminate millions of dollars, impacting the Child Care Subsidy Program and the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund. The groups highlighted the importance of quality, affordable child care for families, child development, and economic growth.
