54% of Wisconsinites live in a child care desert, meaning there are 3x as many children as licensed child care spots.
If funding for #ChildCareCounts dries up, this will only worsen the child care crisis in our state.
A beige background, with text at the top that reads “When we invest in child care, our communities thrive.” Below the text is a blue image of New Mexico to the far left with “New Mexico” written over it, a red image of Wisconsin on the far right with “Wisconsin” written over it, and “vs” between them. Below New Mexico are blocks of text that read “Listening to voters and investing in free child care for low income families lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line,” “Workforce participation among mothers of young children jumped far above the national average,” and “New Mexico’s local economy is thriving as providers are able to continue services.” Below Wisconsin are blocks of text that read “WI Republicans cut nearly $500M in child care funding from the upcoming state budget,” “Due to high child care costs, 1/3rd of parents are putting career plans on hold,” and “1 in 4 child care centers could close if Child Care Counts does not get funding this year.”
Investing in child care is investing in our families, our workforce, & our future
When New Mexico made child care free for working families, thousands were lifted out of poverty & their economy flourished
It’s time WI follows suit. Demand your legislator support #ChildCareCounts at 1-800-362-9472
