Take Action: Fight for Child Care Funding

Over the next 24 hours, lawmakers in D.C. are working out the details of the next federal budget, which could be transformative for child care. But these critical investments aren't promised and we have to fight to ensure that child care isn't sacrificed during these budget negotiations.

We need a game-changing investment in child care, and we need it now. Why? The pandemic has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that child care is the backbone of our economy. We can't go back to the broken pre-pandemic status quo. We must ensure that: 

• Families can afford child care (adding up to no more than 7% of their income)
• Families can actually FIND child care
• Child care workers earn a living wage

Tell your elected officials: Fund child care now!

 Funding child care now means that women and families will have a chance at a real recovery. Now is the time for Congress to address America's child care crisis with a significant investment in our early education system to ensure every family can access the care options that work for them. This is a crucial moment for the future of families and child care providers. Your representatives need to hear from you immediately.

Tell Congress: we need child care funding, and we need it now.

Sincerely,
Melissa Boteach

Eric has over 20 twenty years' experience in business and consumer markets with a focus in technology and digital marketing. Child Care is deeply personal for him, as without the opportunity Child Care provided his single mom so that she could stay employed, he feels that he wouldn't be where he is today. Eric co-founded TOOTRiS after his own life experiences, as a father balancing family and work, and as a manager who had employees quit when they couldn't find affordable or available Child Care.

TOOTRiS is revolutionizing the way parents find and connect to Child Care providers. TOOTRiS' unique technology enables providers to fully manage their programs at no cost, allows parents to vet, communicate & enroll directly with providers, and gives employers the ability to offer Child Care Benefits to their workforce so that they can regain employee productivity and retain their working parents.
