Thank you for putting our kids first, Governor Whitmer!
Thank you for putting our kids first, Governor Whitmer!
Governor Gretchen Whitmer just signed into law a historic investment in our children and families. The new state budget makes childcare more affordable and accessible for families across the state by:
Bringing down costs and expand subsidies for 105,000 families
Providing free preschool for an additional 22,000 4 year olds
Adding 105 million in funding for childcare businesses
Giving $1,000 bonuses for childcare workers
Until recently, Michigan helped families with childcare costs less than almost any other state. This is the biggest state investment in childcare in Michigan’s history!
“On a scale of one to 10, this is a 100”
Dawne Bell, chief executive of the Early Childhood Investment Corp., a Michigan-based nonprofit that advocates on early childhood issues.
