Updates / December 2025 2025 has been full of ups and downs for the program, but we’re ending the year with a big UP: Preschool for All just announced a major surge in enrollment for the 26-27 school...
At the end of the OR Legislature’s 2025 session, some Democratic state senators tried to engage in some direct democracy backsliding by gutting a voter-approved preschool program. From @ggurley: https://t.co/T0s3F7K5lf

or we can read endless ww pieces about the "doom loop" for the rest of our lives like here in portland
If the U.S. invested in child care & policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we’d generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question isn’t, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.

after we won universal pre-k in our area by taxing the rich, my co-lead made a visualization of how much cash (in $20s) we had just redistributed if it were all stacked and brought into our dsa general meeting ✨

YES! This is how to do it. “The average annual family savings are estimated at $12,000 per child.”💛
New Mexico is the first state in the nation to guarantee no-cost universal child care. Starting Nov. 1st child care will be made available to every parent in the state, regardless of income. The average annual family savings are estimated at $12,000 per child.

Over the past month, our coalition and our community came together to say, NO CUTS, NO COMPROMISES. Thank you for every email, phonecall, public comment, and PB&J assembly line for toddlers at evening meetings. Together, we won Preschool for All- AGAIN! The tax cuts are paused!

Good morning, team toddler! It's the last day to submit written comments to stop the Multnomah County Commissioners from mucking up Preschool for All. They're considering cutting the taxes, which will lead to cuts in the program. Tell them no to indexing!

64% of voters in Multnomah County said YES to FREE UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL. PFA makes it possible for families to stay and thrive in our community- why is the County whispering behind closed doors about cutting the taxes that fund the program? Who wins by raising costs on families?
Good news: My kid just got into daycare. Bad news: It would literally be less expensive to send her to ASU. That’s insane. We need to make childcare cheaper so everyday families actually have a fighting chance.

Shocked to see that the Governor of Oregon's brilliant plan to *check notes* gut the universal free preschool program in Multnomah County which pays a living wage to childcare workers didn't make the list.

From chatting with childcare providers, cuts to Preschool for All would lead to paycuts for workers & might cause small childcare businesses to close. PFA creates jobs & stabilizes a vital industry, why is WWeek acting like those jobs don't count?

Multnomah County, home to Portland, has lagged the state and the nation in jobs for the past 12 months.
