A key time to support child care
The Senate Appropriations Committee this week has a chance to bolster federal aid for child care. This would obviously be a great benefit for American kids, who come to school better prepared if they attend high quality early learning programs. But it also helps parents, who are freed by child care to enter the workforce.
This is a great time to increase child care support. As our allies at the National Women’s Law Center have documented, families have gotten less support for child care since state and federal budgets got tight. With them and other partners, we’re calling on Congress to use this chance to make the full $825 million increase in the Child Care and Development Block Grant that President Obama requested. Together with $325 million in greater support for Head Start and additional money for the Early Learning Challenge Fund (allocated from the Race to the Top program) we can help both needy children and their families.

September 16, 2012 at 11:43 pm by JoeThis dirty politics crap diussgts me! I like a lot of other certainly want to see a new board at that school. Lord knows it is needed.The letter that was in yesterdays mail does have a few errors first of all don’t tell ME who not to vote for. You can give me facts if you feel that is helpful, I can decide myself who to vote for. Second- principals do not have contracts- The devil herself oh I mean Carolyn Wilkovitch stressed Gaida out of the district- the sorry board just allowed her to harass the hell out of that poor man.Third- Don’t misrepresent your self by placing a return address that is not yours on the envelope.The biggest flaw of all in that letter is the lack of more info regarding how these people are impeding our childrens education and safety- lord knows that school is lacking. That info would have been much more effective.Those people who placed that flier in those church bulletins- God will get you, and Wilkovitch as well- he already has his eye on your demise anyway. You ought to change your evil ways.You people go to church, say your prayers, put your money in the collection plate and you will burn in hell anyway because you conduct yourselves like the devils advocate in every other aspect of your lives.I won’t be supporting this sort of behavior. None of you will have my vote. You have ALL stooped to a new low! Shame on all of you!Well-loved.
