Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrants, citizens. Families. We are a beacon of light in the Golden State. The care we give and the care we receive is sacred.

Parent Voices 2022 Priorities

In 2022, our priorities are waiving outdated, racist child care family fees, increasing provider pay rates so our child care providers made dignified wages, more child care slots so families can access child care, universal preschool to meet the different needs of all our families (not just uniform transitional kindergarten), including undocumented workers in life-saving unemployment benefits, and expanding paid family leave.
