Public Policy
Ways you can advocate for public policies specific to child care, children and families.
Although child care is a fact of life for millions of American families, too often it is hard to find, difficult to afford and of questionable quality. You can help raise the bar on child care by being informed about legislative issues and advocating to your legislators. Use these resources to assist you:
Learn about federal campaigns that support early child development and child care by visiting the NACCRRA National Legislative Action Center.
Receive a weekly e-newsletter highlighting issues affecting children and child care each week Congress is in session by joining NACCRRA's Action Network here.
Learn about federal and New York State specific advocacy efforts by visiting Winning Beginning NY.
