From Start Strong PA (https://startstrongpa.org/):
Low wages are not only impacting child care professionals but are driving a state-wide staffing crisis resulting in:
- over 32,400 children sitting on waiting lists; and
- nearly 7,000 open child care positions.
More than 30,000 additional children could be served if child care programs were fully staffed!
Take action today and tell our elected officials how important child care is to our children, their families, Pennsylvania business and our economic recovery.
It only takes 2 minutes to send an email to your Senator and Representative urging them to include sustainable funding for a $2/hour wage supplement in child care funding in the state budget.
Don’t delay, 2022-2023 budget negotiations are happening now!
Take Action today at https://startstrongpa.org/take-action.
