In Week 4 of our ongoing CCDF series, we examine the recent cuts to the Child Care and Development Fund and their far-reaching implications for families, providers, and communities. This episode breaks down how funding reductions affect access to quality child care, workforce stability, and early learning outcomes across the nation. Our discussion also explores potential policy responses, strategies for advocacy, and the broader economic context driving these changes.

Stay informed as we continue unpacking key developments in early childhood policy each week.
