This will come as a second blow to families who lost a measure of financial stability when Congress allowed the Child Tax Credit to expire in 2022, a decision that caused the rate of child poverty to more than double in one fell swoop — the largest year-to-year increase in U.S. child poverty on record.
The cliff effect from this funding’s expiration may exacerbate this problem, as some programs will have to choose between closing entirely, cutting staff wages and increasing the costs families pay by thousands of dollars per year. We can build an equitable, affordable and high-quality early education system in this country. This agenda is supported by the 93% of voters who believe it’s important for working parents to be able to find and afford quality child care for their young children.
