Universal child care is the best investment we can make for our families.
The impact of universal, affordable child care for all families would be seismic. It would mean a single mother could go back to school to become a nurse.It would mean a young family could actually save enough to buy a house. It would mean a couple could start that small business they’d been dreaming of.
