CHILD CARE CAN'T WAIT. WHY ACTION THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS CRITICAL

Our child care system is in crisis—and we can’t hold off closures much longer without action in this legislative session. As providers, you know better than anyone what it’s like to run a small business without being fully reimbursed for the essential services you provide. Your experiences are powerful, and they can help move real solutions forward.

When providers are forced to close, entire communities feel the impact. That’s why it’s so important for policymakers—and the voters they represent—to understand how this crisis is affecting the places they live and serve.



You can help by sharing your story on social media and including key talking points in your newsletters. Feel free to personalize your message—your voice matters, and now is the time to use it.

PROTECT CHILD CARE IN

FORSYTH COUNTY

Forsyth County’s early childhood education infrastructure is at risk, and The Pre-K Priority coalition is asking you to join us in taking immediate action to ensure families in our community have access to affordable, quality care for their children.

4 ways to take action:

1. ‍Advocate to Fully Fund NC Pre-K to Serve ALL Qualifying Children
2. Act to Stabilize Local Child Care Centers with Reimbursements that Match the Cost of Care.
3. Advocate to Support Early Childhood Educators with Child Care Subsidies.
4. Act to Protect Head Start & Early Head Start programs that serve 619 children, ages 0-5 yrs old, in Forsyth County.

There are immediate threats to funding for programs like Head Start on the federal level as well as pending legislation here in the North Carolina General Assembly that could have a profound impact on the availability and affordability of quality early care and education. Access is key to Forsyth County’s economic vitality and to developing our future leaders of tomorrow. Your voice matters in demonstrating to our national and state leaders that we must support Early Childhood Education.

Child Care Resource Center. (CCRC) is here — to:

• Connect families to quality care
• Train and coach child care professionals
• Help employers support working families
• Expand access in underserved areas
• Use data to shape smart policy
• Advocate for systems that work for all families

Now more than ever, this work is essential. And we need you.
