Childcare is in dire crisis. We can begin to change that. Join in-person or Zoom to urge elected officials in the region to allocate $10 M towards stabilizing the childcare industry. Every attendee makes a difference!
The childcare workforce is turning over at a severe and rapid rate, leaving centers understaffed and employees overworked. This impacts every single person in Spokane - from kids and families to business owners and the workforce. This will lead to an economic crisis if we don't act now. The urgency of this moment cannot be overstated. We as the Spokane Alliance have an opportunity to do something about this crisis.
On Thursday, April 28th from 6-8 PM at the UU Church of Spokane (and Zoom) ...
We will be urging elected officials from the region to stabilize the childcare industry by allocating $10 M of the $201 M the region received from ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act). Based on over 100 stories shared from Spokane Alliance members, these are our priorities:
- Subsidies for families to afford quality care
- Compensation and stabilization of the workforce
- Mental Health support for early learning staff and kids
