Recipe for a Stronger Child Care System


This holiday season we are excited to share a very special recipe, the Recipe for a Stronger Child Care System.

Step 1: Use the CACFP action center and urge your legislators to cosponsor these bills.

Step 2: Share the recipe with others digitally or as a printed postcard. 

To use digitally: Download the recipe and share to social media. Here is a sample social media caption:
