Early care providers aren’t being fairly funded based on the true cost of care. Funding is essential in providing the needed resources, programs, and staff members. We ask #CALeg to acknowledge these true costs and implement the Alternative Rate Methodology in the May revision.

We’re concerned about losing $20 million in planned funding to expand care for our infants and toddlers. We urge our California legislators to make changes in the May revision in order to expand care to 1,000 infants and toddlers. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom

Expulsion at a young age can cause lifelong harm and disproportionately affects children of color, children with disabilities, and children experiencing adverse childhood experiences like poverty, abuse, neglect and instability.

California law restricts preschools from expelling kids, yet an increase in behavioral problems since the pandemic is proving a big challenge for teachers.
