As child-care centers face an uncertain funding future, President Biden is asking Congress to help
The Biden-Harris Administration asked Congress for an extra $16 billion to support the childcare sector after the pandemic childcare stabilization fund expired Sept 30.
The proposal asked to extend the childcare-stabilization funding for one more year so that it can “help keep providers afloat, mitigating the likelihood that providers will close or raise costs for families.” Going forward, it could become much more costly for providers to offer care, which many parents already struggle to pay tuition for. Providers have already had to face decisions, such as laying off workers or closing down the programs without any additional funding.
Southwestern Child Development Commission, a nonprofit focusing on early education in western North Carolina, announced last week that it will close down seven agency-operated programs starting from Oct. 31.
