When my kids were little, I struggled to find good, reliable, and affordable child care. It felt like an impossible task then – and it still is for many families. That’s why I’m proposing a new plan for #UniversalChildCare.
My plan for #UniversalChildCare would build off the success of Head Start to create a network of high-quality child care options. Federal funding would guarantee every family has access to high-quality, affordable care for kids from birth to kindergarten.
In many states, child care is more expensive than in-state college tuition. Under my plan for #UniversalChildCare, child care would be free for nearly 9 million kids. And no family would pay more than 7% of their income for child care.
My #UltraMillionaireTax on America’s wealthiest families could fund #UniversalChildCare, giving millions of kids a leg up. And by offering parents more options to balance work and family, we could also help boost our economy.
Whether you have kids, grandkids, or no kids at all – America's children are our country's future. That means we have an interest, and a responsibility, to invest in them. Let’s start by making #UniversalChildCare a reality. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
