Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) reintroduced the Child Care for Working Families Act (CCWFA). Home Grown endorses this historic legislation that would make long overdue and much-needed investments in our nation’s child care system. We look forward to working with authors of legislation to ensure that the maximum number of home-based providers are able to engage in the system created by the bill and receive the subsidy and wage support they need.

My name is Gladys Jones, and I'm the Chief Executive Officer of ECE on the Move. I'm also a child care leader, an advocate, and a person living with a disability.
As we commemorate Juneteenth, the field of early childhood education has an opportunity to reflect on the enduring relationship between Black women’s caregiving labor and the American social economy.
Al conmemorar Juneteenth, el sector de la educación infantil temprana tiene la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre la relación perdurable entre la labor de cuidado realizada por mujeres negras y la economía social estadounidense.
