Increase state funding for quality early childhood care and education programs.
Why is this important?
Brain research proves the importance of quality early care and education programs. Childcare centers are a major part of the work-force infrastructure and the return on investment in early education is high. Minimum wage is increasing again and the states investment in the childcare subsidy program has not increased since 2009. WV childcare centers are struggling to pay the bills and numerous centers have closed. Working families and our children need your support.
