"Yesterday I joined WA state leaders & child care advocates to discuss how my child care proposal would build on our state's Fair Start For Kids Act. While our state is on the right path, we can do more, & I'll keep pushing in the other Washington to bolster these efforts.

Lois Martin, co-chair of the @waDCYF Early Learning Advisory Council, emphasized that we have to do everything we can to provide students with the educational tools and opportunities needed to succeed from the start.

Mary Curry, a home-based child care provider from Tacoma and @SEIU925 child care chapter president, highlighted what so many parents already knew: the COVID-19 pandemic may have put this problem center stage, but we've had a child care crisis for years.

I'm thankful for the leadership of @SenClaireWilson and Rep. @TanaSenn working to fix Washington state's child care crisis. My child care plan would build on their work by lowering costs for families and helping providers. I'm determined to get it passed."
