Home Grown commends President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and their team for setting out an ambitious vision for expanding access to high quality child care and early learning. We wholeheartedly agree that this vision can only be achieved if there is both immediate action to sustain the child care sector via additional relief funding and ongoing investment in early childhood education and child care, specifically home-based child care.
Biden-Harris Transition Memo: Supporting Home-Based Child Care to Ensure America’s Recovery
Although we celebrate Provider Appreciation Day one day a year, the home-based child care providers who care for our children earn our gratitude and support every single day, every single moment of the year.
Hayley Village, a home-based child care provider in San Mateo County, California, shares her experience with unaffordable housing and what it means to have to relocate her family and her business.
Women’s contributions and experiences are not well represented in the record books, but it is just as rich and worth celebrating. Ours is a tale of community, resilience, and connection to one another, and it is inextricably linked with care work.
