Child Care Action Needed

The Ohio House of Representatives has begun to consider the substitute budget bill.  Your advocacy is needed ASAP:

The definition of Full Time for child care reimbursement was changed from 35 hours per week to 32.5 – we need to reduce this further!

Over $23 million was cut from Early Childhood Education – this must be restored, the increase in SFY2008-2009 was the first increase this program has seen in nearly 20 years!

The Early Childhood Mental Health program needs $350,000 for Consultation and funding for Treatment - these critical services will save thousands of vulnerable children from years of mental health distress!

Click here to send your representative and House Leadership a letter asking them to fund the early childhood system and protect our youngest children.

It is CRITICAL that you contact them ASAP as a vote will be taking place soon.
