Our partners at Community Change recently put together a report that envisions a path to universal public child care — shaped by input from parents, providers, and grassroots organizers.

Building a Vision for Universal Public Childcare: Principles for a Childcare System That Works for Workers and Families, found that a universal public childcare system that effectively meets the needs of families and providers requires a particular attention to families’ financial needs; the needs of children with disabilities; the need for full-day, year-round care; the need for high-quality and age-appropriate youth development, care, and education; and the need for young children to have attentive, consistent relationships with providers.

Make The Child Care Voter Pledge

The STL Child Care Voter Campaign is a campaign to activate community members to become powerful voters and take action to make child care a civil right for every child and family who calls St. Louis home.

We envision an early childhood education system where every family, no matter their race, income, or ZIP code, has access to joyful, high-quality care that opens up endless possibilities for children and communities.

Make the pledge today to protect care for all of our babies!
