Can you afford to lose $15,000 while caring for a newborn?

Most families can’t and that’s why paid leave is essential. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬.

Can you afford to lose $15,000 while caring for a newborn? Most families can’t and that’s why paid leave is essential. It’s time for the Senate to step up and deliver for working families.

Great news!

The Family Care Act — legislation that would create a statewide paid family and medical leave program in PA — just passed out of the Senate Labor and Industry Committee!

Thank you to Senator Devlin Robinson and Senator Maria Collett for championing this important legislation!

Now, the bill will be debated by the full PA Senate, and we need to keep up the momentum!

Children First Action Fund was honored to join the retirement celebration for "Miss Margie," a beloved early childhood educator at Sunshine Christian Academy in Drexel Hill.

Early childhood educators like Miss Margie shape young lives, support working families, and strengthen our communities.

We're proud to partner with educators across Pennsylvania to elevate their voices and help voters understand the critical role they play in helping children and families thrive.

Child care and pre-K are essential for children, working families, and Pennsylvania’s economy.

But right now:

🔴 Families face high costs and long waitlists

🔴 Providers struggle with rising expenses

🔴 Low wages are driving teacher shortages

🔴 Pennsylvania loses more than 6 BILLION a year due to the child care crisis

You can help change that.

Last week, Children First and Children First Action Fund joined First Five Years Fund in Washington, D.C. to advocate for stronger federal investments in child care and early learning.

We met with legislators and their teams to discuss increased funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), Head Start, Preschool Development Grants, and support for the Child Care Modernization Act.

Thank you to First Five Years Fund for hosting us and for your continued leadership in federal child care advocacy.
