Funding for Child Care Counts was *not* one of the 540+ policies Republicans voted out of the budget last week. Republican JFC co-chair Howard Marklein even said in a press conference that they’d heard a lot about child care during listening sessions, which seems significant.
But by no means does that mean this is over. Republicans have been wobbly on this issue, and many child care advocates were surprised that it made the first cut.

And child care providers deserve a thriving wage.
