According to the Center for American Progress & NAEYC, the #COVID19 crisis has forced half of America’s #childcare providers to close – many for good. That could lead to a loss of ~4.5 million child care slots nationwide. America needs #ChildCareRelief.

In Virginia, 27% of programs would not survive closing for more than two weeks without significant public investment; 18% would not survive a closure of any length of time; 54% have lost income based on families' inability to pay.

Congress: #childcare is the backbone that supports American families, sustains industries that are necessary in this public health crisis, and buttresses the herculean efforts of medical professionals. Yet, without your support we cannot continue to do this. #FundChildCare now!

I stand with #childcare advocates from around the United States asking @senatemajldr @GOPLeader to #FundChildCare. With $50 billion in emergency stimulus funding you can keep the #childcare industry from collapsing: bit.ly/39aiHZm

America is on the verge of losing more than half of its #childcare programs in the next week IF there isn’t significant public investment & support so that they can compensate & retain staff, pay rent & cover fixed costs. Congress, #FundChildCare! #ChildCareNow

#Childcare programs are closed to protect children and our communities. But without immediate assistance, they may never open again. Congress, don't let that happen.

#Childcare is an essential service for essential workers. #FundChildCare so that we can be there for children and families who need us now, and those will need us in the future.

You may have had the thought, if child care is so expensive, then shouldn’t child care businesses be thriving? Unfortunately, this isn't the case. #childcare #ece

Unfortunately, we see it all the time. Many families who don't qualify for state assistance are still unable to keep up with child care costs. #childcare #ece
Safety in child care is a critical first step in ensuring a quality early child care & education system in VA. 3 kids is the national standard for licensure - VA isn’t quite ready to take that step yet, but this is one more step in the right direction. #HB1214

We’re excited that @shelly_simonds' HB1214 passed in subcommittee and is being heard in full committee this morning. The bill would require child care providers caring for 3-4 children in their homes to be Registered with VDSS and receive important safe sleep training. #HB1214

2018 was the worst year yet for hot car deaths. This year we can make a change. The Hot Cars Act of 2019 offers a solution by adding an alert system to vehicles to remind drivers if there is a child in the backseat. Contact your Members of Congress here: bit.ly/2OiqHSZ
