It was a jam-packed week in DC with my Primrose Schools colleagues Jo Kirchner and Amy Jackson and the fellow members of the Early Care and Education Consortium (ECEC), who collectively represent over 7,000 early learning programs across 48 states and DC. ?? We kicked things off with our ECEC board meeting, which was filled with industry insights from Tuscany Strategy Consulting, Procare Solutions, and LineLeader by ChildcareCRM ???Then we headed to our co-sponsored Child Care Means Business reception on the Hill. It was great to see the packed room and spend time with so many friends and partners! ?? Finally, we closed the trip with a busy day of meetings with congressional offices, advocating for early learning as a priority in appropriations and reconciliation, specifically for the expansion of the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC), incentives for employer offered child care benefits through Sec. 45F, and the maximum pretax contributions for Dependent Care Flexible Savings Accounts. These critical tax reforms would modernize existing tax code provisions and ensure that more families have the resources to access high quality early learning. ????Despite what you see on the news right now about DC, I came home energized by the consistent support for child care I heard from offices on both sides of the aisle.

We truly appreciate your commitment and hard work—it never goes unnoticed Faith Walker! We're grateful to have you on our team!
