Vermont’s landmark child care law, Act 76, laid the foundation for an equitable and sustainable child care system. We’ve made real progress, but our work is not finished.
Let’s Grow Kids Action Network will continue supporting Vermont’s child care movement through the next phase of the campaign. We will do this by building relationships and working closely with child care champs in the state house, supporting candidates in future elections who prioritize child care, and by coordinating advocacy efforts with key partners across the state.
In this next phase of the campaign, we will be focused on:
- Protecting all public funding in Vermont’s child care system.
- Increasing affordability and access for families.
- Strengthening the ECE workforce.
And we need your help. For decades, Vermonters from across the political spectrum have come together to make absolutely clear: Child Care is Essential. Act 76 and the progress we’re seeing on the ground today would not have been possible without your advocacy. Join us to continue building a child care system that works for all Vermonters.
