CONGRESS SAID NO TO AN INVESTMENT IN CHILD CARE (AGAIN)!
Where Do Private Providers of Licensed Early Child Care and Education Go From Here?
By Cindy Lehnhoff
Director of the National Child Care Association
As an industry we must decide whether or not to take this one lying down or to keep fighting for ourselves and the communities we serve. We know without a doubt the temporary support of COVID-19 emergency funds will run out. In fact, it is estimated that states will be facing a $48B funding cliff in 2024. The reality is private licensed providers, who make up 93% of the child care infrastructure in the US, have worked long and hard for years to keep things going for working families. Long before COVID-19 you have weathered many unfunded mandates to improve quality. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic and child care’s financial fragility was finally fully revealed. Isn’t it sad that it took a pandemic for our US Legislators to realize that child care is ESSENTIAL? Thankfully, however, they did and they quickly reacted by providing historical amounts of funding to keep the licensed child care providers temporarily afloat. Unfortunately, it was a short-lived victory for child care as Congress recently decided it was more important to invest in hiring 87,000 new IRS agents then continue to invest in child care. They did this in spite of the many well-known facts that clearly show the future of accessible and affordable child care is more uncertain than ever. Those FACTS include:
- The child care workforce is in crisis due to low wages, lack of benefits, and working conditions.
- The most recent data says that only 76% of the child care workforce has returned following the pandemic compared to 103% of private sector jobs lost during the pandemic.
- Many providers are not able to accept more children into their programs because they are unable to staff their classrooms with qualified child care professionals and educators.
- Providers are forced to raise their rates to afford the cost of rising prices in labor and goods therefore making it even less affordable for working families.
- Roughly 1 in 3 working parents in the US are using informal child care arrangements (relatives, friends, neighbors or alter their work schedules so one parent can be home) .
- COST and ACCESSIBILITY for families are two of the top reasons why working parents have to count on informal versus formal child care arrangements. This is especially true for parents with multiple children.
- CCDBG is so underfunded that only 1 in 7 children who currently qualify for it actually have access to it.
- 51% of ALL children ages 0-6 live in communities that are considered child care deserts (more children then licensed child care spaces available).
- Licensed child care centers (8,889) and licensed homes (6,957) closed their doors forever between December 2019 and March 2022.
- The low return on investment is very often a deterrent to individuals capable and interested in becoming owners of a child care center. This occurs more often in rural and lower economic areas.
- Approximately 2M women have dropped out of the work place between 2019 and 2021 many due to child care challenges.
As an industry we are recognized for RESILENCE as it pertains to hanging in there and doing the best we can with what we have. Unfortunately, resilience doesn’t pay the bills. If we want to continue serving families, we must become UNITED, RESILENT and DETERMINED ADVOCATES. Being a member of the NCCA allows you to easily participate in advocating for YOURSELF and the FAMILIES YOU SERVE! Stay tuned as the NCCA works alongside our national advocacy partners to determine upcoming ACTION STEPS in our ongoing efforts to get the federal investment needed to ensure that all working families have accessibility to affordable child care and NOT at the continued expense of those that provide it.
ACT NOW, child care can’t wait.

| The Challenges of Providing Child Care October 23, 2021 In July, NAEYC surveyed child care providers and educators nationwide about the challenges of providing and working in child care. In summary, this is what the survey results were regarding the topic of STAFF and COMPENSATION: Advocates, these are great facts to share with your Lead Agency, State Legislators, and even your Governor when asking for their help in SAVING the ESSENTIAL Business of Child Care so other essential businesses are able to employ the people they need to do business! |

Over 6000 providers and educators responded.Important Info on ARP Stimulus Funds
October 13, 2021
Are you still waiting to receive your share of the ARP stimulus funds provided to child care?If you are still waiting, you are far from alone.
Unfortunately over half of the states have yet to provide any or most of these funds to their childcare providers. As you may recall the American Rescue Plan that was passed in March of this year provided $39B to help childcare. $15B of it was added to the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and the other $24B was set aside to help stabilize the child care infrastructure. The Administration of Child and Family Services provided states the following information which encouraged them to use their additional CCDBG money for the following purposes:
- Prioritize using the funds to raise subsidy payment rates
- Increase child care workforce compensation
- Take bold steps to support children’s development needs, choices for parents and increased access to assistance for families
| In addition, the guidance encouraged:
– Supply-building activities, including care for infants and toddlers and care during non-traditional hours The additional $24B was designated for child care stabilization grants. |
| Click here to for more info. |
The goal of the grants is to provide financial relief to child care providers to help defray unexpected business costs associated with the pandemic and to help stabilize their operations so that they may continue to provide care. Child care providers may use subgrants to cover a range of expenses such as personnel costs; rent or mortgage payments; insurance; facility maintenance and improvements; personal protective equipment (PPE) and COVID-related supplies, training and professional development related to health and safety practices; goods and services needed to resume providing care; mental health supports for children and early educators; and reimbursement of costs associated with the current public health emergency. To date, only 20 states have posted grant applications for their providers. We know that many of you are trying to figure out how to get your Governor, Legislators, or Lead Agencies to move this process along so that you as providers can receive the money your federal legislators wanted you to have.
Lawmakers Need to Hear from You
September 24, 2021
Families are struggling to afford high-quality child care as the cost of care increases year after year. The Build Back Better plan would ensure working families can afford quality childcare and preschool.
Tell your representatives that now is the time to #SolveChildCare.
| Important Info on Child Tax Credit Payments September 13, 2021 We want to share with you the latest information as it relates to the Advance Child Tax Credit 2021. As you know, these payments are an expansion of the Child Tax Credit and allow parents to get up to fifty percent of their credit in advance by the 15th of each month, between July 15 through December 15, 2021. The remaining portion of the credit can be claimed when the parent files their tax return next filing season. This money can quickly add up to a significant amount and can help parents who have been struggling financially. |
| Click here to access the Child Tax Credit Update Portal. |
Although the IRS has already issued advance payments to over 39 million households based on information provided on their 2020 tax returns, there may be some families missing out, because the IRS does not have the most current information available, such as mailing address, or financial account information to receive the convenience of direct deposit. As a result, this week’s message focuses on the new address feature on the Child Tax Credit Update Portal, which is available on irs.gov. Generally, updates entered into the portal can take up to seven calendar days to be reflected on an account. As a result, if a parent would like their advance payment mailed to their new address in time for the fourth installment (October 15 payment), then the information must be entered into the portal no later than October 4, 2021.

| Sadly, since the start of the pandemic there has been an increase in tax scams involving Economic Impact Payments, unemployment compensation, and now advance child tax payments. Please be vigilant!

September 9, 2021
Let Your Voice Be Heard!
While Congress provided funding for childcare centers to help keep their doors open, this was not a long-term solution. The issues need to be fixed once and for all. We need to provide teachers a higher livable wage so that they can come to work and take care of our children. We need to build a better infrastructure to support the childcare industry now and for years to come. These children are our future!

| Calling on ALL Child Care Advocates to ACT NOW! September 2, 2021 Child Care is infrastructure, connecting work and jobs. Child care is what makes all other work possible! Yet did you know that Child Care and Early Education work is one of the lowest-paid professions in the U.S.? The time to ADVOCATE for robust investment in child care is NOW. |
| Click here to ACT NOW. |
The lack of affordable high-quality child care costs about $57B a year in lost productivity, wages, and our economy. We need to create a child care system that meets the needs of children, families, communities, and child care providers.
We are calling on all stakeholders to SPEAK OUT for HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE, and ACCESSIBLE Child Care and Early Education.

SPEAK OUT FOR CHILD CARE: As you are well aware there are many different proposals coming from the White House and Congress this summer that will provide the largest ever investment in America’s child care system. For the first time ever we have the attention of our federal lawmakers. Due to Covid-19 they now know that saving child care and early education for the long term is ESSENTIAL to children, families, employers, and our economy. They also know that high-quality care and education is not accessible and affordable for all. Now that we have their attention every ESSENTIAL child care professional receiving this newsletter has the opportunity and most of all the responsibility of being a VOICE for children, families, and yourself. |
| Click here to ACT NOW. |
I hope by sharing this information with you that has been provided to us by one of our advocacy partners, Child Care Aware of America, we can count on everyone letting their federal legislators know what you need to be a high-quality and sustainable early care and education business and educator. REMEMBER YOU ARE ESSENTIAL and YOUR INPUT REGARDING THIS MATTER IS ESSENTIAL!Many policy proposals that are aimed at improving child care have already come out of Congress and the White House this year. Policymakers at the federal level increasingly recognize the urgent need for long-term, sustainable investment in America’s child care system. CCAoA’s new two-part blog series breaks down what’s included:
Child Care Proposals from Congress
Child Care in Proposals from the White House
As Congress and the White House continue to negotiate over which policies will ultimately be included in infrastructure and budget bills this summer, make sure you know what has been proposed already with our blogs.
Once you have, contact your Members of Congress and tell them to support sustainable, long-term federal investment in child care that makes high-quality, affordable care a reality for families.
Thank you to Child Care Aware for this info.
| ACT NOW: August 23, 2021 Congress is moving forward with a reconciliation bill that could include the long-term, sustainable investments in child care that parents and providers are desperate for. Your Members of Congress need to hear from you about why these investments are vital to creating a more equitable, affordable, and accessible child care system in America. |

| TAKE ACTION: FIGHT FOR CHILD CARE FUNDING July 31, 2021 Lawmakers in D. |
| Tell your elected officials: Fund child care now! |
C. are working out the details of the next federal budget, which could be transformative for child care. But these critical investments aren’t promised and we have to fight to ensure that child care isn’t sacrificed during these budget negotiations. We need a game-changing investment in child care, and we need it now. Why? The pandemic has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that child care is the backbone of our economy. We can’t go back to the broken pre-pandemic status quo. We must ensure that: Families can afford child care (adding up to no more than 7% of their income)Families can actually FIND child care. Child care workers earn a living wageFunding child care now means that women and families will have a chance at a real recovery. Now is the time for Congress to address America’s child care crisis with a significant investment in our early education system to ensure every family can access the care options that work for them.
This is a crucial moment for the future of families and child care providers. Your representatives need to hear from you immediately.
Tell Congress: we need child care funding, and we need it now.

Melissa Boteach

More COVID Relief Coming Your Way!
Published 1/25/2021
Dear Members:
As you know, 2021 has begun with the highest increase in Covid-19 cases throughout the United States.
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to make doing business as high-quality child care providers and educators more difficult than ever before. As essential businesses, we have continued to keep the doors safely open in order to serve individuals that must go to work.
Fortunately, at the end of December, Congress finally passed a long awaited second COVID Relief Package which includes $10 billion additional dollars allocated to the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG). This is on top of the FY2021 budgeted amount of $5.9 billion for the CCDBG and more than double of what the CARES Act provided previously ($3 billion).
Similar to the CARES Act these funds can be used to:
- Reduce family copays and tuition.
- Cover COVID related expenses for child care providers whether or not they are serving subsidy children.
- Cover the cost of staff salaries.
- Care for children of essential workers regardless of income.
- Cover the cost of reopening or operating a center at reduced capacity and more.
It is important to note that the Lead Child Care Agency in your State and your Governor have 60 days from the passage of the bill to report their intentions for using the CCDBG emergency funds. It would be prudent for all of you receiving this information to contact your Lead Agency and your Governor’s office either by phone or email to provide feedback on what you need to keep your center viable. They will then have until October 31st, 2022 to report how they spent it.
Here you will find additional detail regarding how this money can be used and how much each state is expected to receive of the $10 billion.

COVID-Relief-Package-Includes-Some-Relief-for-Child-Care-Providers-_-CLASPDownload
It should also be noted that the Biden Administration has already proposed another $40 billion in emergency funds to be provided to child care in another stimulus bill.
All the more reason to be vocal with your Governor, State Legislators, and your Lead Agency on what is needed by providers and educators to keep high quality available and affordable NOW and BEYOND. If they do not hear from enough of you, they will make the decision for you. Share this information with parents and business leaders so they know that their voice can also help child care get what is needed to be open and safe during this time. Call or email us if you need help with creating a message that you are comfortable with delivering.
Keep the faith and hang in there! YOU are and have always been the most essential of the essential!
Sincerely,
Cindy Lehnhoff

About the Center – NTsZD
Federal State Autonomous Institution “National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
Director – Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor – Fisenko Andrey Petrovich.
The history of the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health dates back to the middle of the 18th century. It began to function as a “hospital for children” at the Imperial Moscow Orphanage on the basis of the Manifesto of Catherine II of September 1, 1763. The Orphanage was transformed into the House for the Protection of the Baby in 1918, and then into the State Scientific Institute for the Protection of Motherhood and Infancy (1923) . In 1945, the institution became part of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR as a research institute of pediatrics. At 19In 98, by merging the Research Institute of Pediatrics and the Research Institute of Hygiene and Children’s Health, the Scientific Center for Children’s Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences was created. Now the Center is over 255 years old.
Since 2015, the Center has become subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Health.
The uniqueness of the country’s leading pediatric center lies in the harmonious combination of fundamental and applied research with the provision of multidisciplinary high-tech medical care for children and the training of scientific and medical personnel.
Today, the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health is the Center for Leadership, which has a special role in shaping the Strategy for the Development of Children’s Health in Russia and the implementation of the main directions of the Decade of Childhood (2018-2027).
The Center is structured in such a way that both in scientific and practical terms, we solve multidisciplinary issues of prevention, diagnosis, high-tech treatment, rehabilitation, hygiene and health care for children and adolescents.
Today, the Center effectively employs: the Research Institute of Pediatrics and the Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents, the Institute of Pediatric Surgery and the Institute of Medical Personnel Training, the Center for Child Psychoneurology, the Center for Fundamental Research in Pediatrics and the Center for Psychological and Pedagogical Assistance in Pediatrics.
The Center employs highly qualified specialists, including 5 Corresponding Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 36 professors, 4 Honored Workers of Science of the Russian Federation, 4 Honored Doctors of the Russian Federation, 70 Doctors and 150 Candidates of Sciences. The employees of the Center have repeatedly become laureates of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology.
All types of medical care, including specialized and high-tech, are provided in the conditions of a round-the-clock stay in the clinic, day hospital and consultative and diagnostic center. New medical and organizational forms of work have made it possible to annually increase the number of treated patients by 1.5 times. All types of research at the Center are publicly available to children in all regions of the Russian Federation.
With the opening in 2014 of a new high-tech scientific and clinical complex of pediatrics and pediatric surgery with unique equipment, the quality and volume of care provided in the field of pediatrics, pediatric surgery and public health have significantly improved.
All departments of the Center have modern scientific and medical equipment, which makes it possible to conduct world-class fundamental and applied research in priority areas of science development and critical technologies, approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
Scientifically substantiated and widely used innovative methods of treatment of severe forms of rheumatic, allergic, nephrological, neurological diseases and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in children.
Successfully implemented new methods of vaccination and rehabilitation of children with impaired health, including those born with very low and extremely low body weight.
The Center has more than 30 years of experience in the active use of telemedicine and remote access technologies in pediatrics, using the latest achievements in the field of communication technologies, which makes it possible to make consultations and educational lectures of its specialists available to everyone who has the means of modern communication.
Thanks to telemedicine, the Center can reach its full potential in helping children with various forms of pathology and develop new methods of digital support for clinical decision-making and medical data processing.
The Center has a specialized dissertation council with the right to accept for the defense of doctoral and master’s theses in 3 specialties (pediatrics, pediatric surgery, public health and healthcare).
Every year more than 100 residents and postgraduates study at the Center using the facilities of a highly specialized simulation and training center. In its structure: intensive care units, intensive care units for newborns and older children, an operating block, rooms for practicing practical skills in pediatrics, pediatric surgery, traumatology and orthopedics, as well as a conference room for lecture courses.
