Kirsten Gillibrand Instagram – When just one daycare center closed, it had ripple effects throughout their entire community. The daycare employees lost their jobs. A family with two kids and one more on the way had to cut back hours at work to fill in the gaps. And a small business is now struggling to hire and retain talented staffers who keep losing their child care.
All of this happened after just ONE daycare closed. Now imagine this story happening over and over again, all across the country. Our economy relies on families having affordable, reliable child care. Congress needs to pass President Biden’s supplemental funding request and restore the critical funding that kept these daycares open.
