(27,995 posts)Not only could this bill expand access to high-quality child care for families, but it sets provider rates (that are subsidized with vouchers) at a high enough level to help ensure a living wage for all child care workers.
And it expands access to early childhood developmental services for children with special needs.

(175,698 posts)My niece is a single mother expecting a baby, and will benefit greatly from this. Her two daughters are now in first grade, but as a single mother needs affordable care for the new baby girl.
Plus, thousands of other families will be helped by this bill. Thank you, Senator Murray!

I'm thrilled that our Democrats are proposing this legislation!
