Recently, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) introduced the Child Care for Working Families Act of 2017. This new bill would:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tMore than double the number of children eligible for assistance under the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), and ensure these children gain access to high-quality early learning programs.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tHelp states create universal preschool programs for three and four year olds during the school day, and provide a higher matching rate for infants and toddlers.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tSupport the child care workforce through increased training and compensation by ensuring they are paid a living wage.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tHelp Head Start provide full-day, full-year programming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\tWorking families need your support on this new bill!
