The urgency to address America's early education and child care issues has never been greater.

More than two in three California parents of infants and toddlers report feeling stress about paying for basic needs. This high rate of hardship is concerning, as parents’ economic stress can interfere with the ability to provide responsive caregiving. rapidsurveyproject.com/our-r…

🧠 DID YOU KNOW?
In March 2022, 91% of families surveyed struggled to find affordable, quality child care (@RapidSurvey, 2022). Home-based care is often the best or only option available for families in rural areas and for families needing care during nontraditional hours, like evenings, nights, and weekends. This care is often the most familiar, flexible, convenient, personal, and affordable option for families. #childcare
