Let's Create a Child Care Rainy Day Fund

During the COVID pandemic, California has received billions in additional funding from the federal government. The State of California is projected to run billions of dollars ahead of what is projected for at least the next year. Adding to the above, Congress just passed over a trillion more in the Build Back Better Act (still needs to pass the US Senate). The future looks flush.

With all of this additional funding, then why plan for a downfall? Because, it will happen.

Having supported the child care and early learning field for nearing 20 years, I have seen our field raided of funding when the recession hit and when there were budgetary shortfalls. Aside from the CalWORKs entitlement programs, California's allocated child care slots and classrooms are funded with discretionary dollars out of what is called the state's General Fund(GF). These unprotected programs are considered low-hanging fruit and ripe to be cut when monies need to be used elsewhere.

So, another question, should we push to create a protected rainy day fund specifically for child care? Without hesitation I would answer YES!

When California begins to slide into a recession, the impact will affect all. For the poorest families amongst us, they will feel the impact more acutely and their children more so. That is why we should be preparing now to make sure that all children receiving stable child care continue to be supported until their parents are income eligible to continue supporting their care without a subsidy. We should not only be supporting stable accessible child care for the most fragile of families and children when the economy is healthy, but plan accordingly for when it falters.

The babies and children we are focusing on are the one's that need the most help in preparing to enter schools. These are the children where their child care provider or center may be the only constant and stable part of their lives.

So as we look to this week as a time of reflection and time to give thanks, let us also look to this time to create a strategy to support and protect the needs of babies and children when the times are not as bountiful. May each of you have a happy Thanksgiving.

ICYMI: Last Week's Must Reads

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California is on track to have so much money that state officials will likely have to give even more of it back to taxpayers to meet constitutional limits on state spending, according to a new forecast from the state’s independent Legislative Analyst’s Office. The state’s annual “Fiscal Outlook,” released Wednesday, predicts a $31 billion surplus for the 2022 budget year that begins July 1. Read the full article here.

For many years, child care has suffered a combination of problems. For parents, it’s been expensive and hard to find, yet the people working in child care earn so little money that it’s hard to keep them. The House bill aims to address this in several significant ways. Read the full article here.
Policy Brief - Places for All Babies: Home-Based Child Care is an Essential Part of the Solution
Home-based child care is often the first choice of families with infants and toddlers. Family child care (FCC) and family friend and neighbor (FFN) providers frequently offer families cultural or language continuity, non-traditional work hours, or the convenience of being located within their immediate community.

ZERO TO THREE’s new policy brief highlights the value of increasing and strengthening both of these child care options. They also include examples of state strategies and recommendations that policymakers can explore in building a truly robust mixed delivery system that embraces both FCC and FFN as essential components in an array of high quality options for all families of infants and toddlers.

House of Representatives Pass the Build Back Better Act; Heads to Senate

Friday was a historic day for child care and early learning. The House voted to pass the Build Back Better Act, including the investment in child care and early learning. We are grateful for the child care providers, parents, and advocates who have been organizing for decades to get the child care investment we need. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will need to pass by a simple majority before it heads to the President's desk for signing. Read more about the Build Back Better Act here.
CLASP: House Passage of Build Back Better Marks Historic Win

Friday's passage in the U.S. House of Representatives of the Build Back Better Act is an historic investment in our country’s children, young people, workers, and families. The bill will strengthen the nation’s economy and secure a more equitable future for people with low incomes, communities of color, and immigrant families. Read more from CLASP about the bill’s provisions on child care, paid family and medical leave, and postsecondary education.
Hunt Institute Report - Childcare and PreKindergarten in the Build Back Better Act: A Guide for Policy Makers

As Congress prepares to debate passage of the Build Back Better Act, aspects of the $1.75 billion spending proposal hold the potential to fundamentally transform America’s early care and education landscape – creating universal prekindergarten for 3- and 4-year-olds, expanding access to affordable, high-quality child care, and addressing the compensation needs of the early childhood workforce.
In preparation, The Hunt Institute has released Childcare and Prekindergarten in The Build Back Better Act: A Guide for Policymakers, which condenses roughly 100 pages of pertinent bill language into six pages of question and answer-style summary. Read the full report here.

1. Reconciliation Update 
On Friday, the House passed the Build Back Better Act. Please see NWLC’s full statement here and read on below for information about the bill’s path forward.  
 
On November 18th, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its score, or cost analysis, of the Build Back Better Act.  This is an important step to move the Act forward because the Senate requires a CBO score before a vote. Now that the House passed the Build Back Better Act, the bill moves to the Senate where we’re likely to see changes to the bill. If the Senate changes the Build Back Better Act, the House will have to vote to pass the bill again before the President signs. 
 
Congress will likely pass another short-term spending bill by December 3rd and vote on the debt ceiling in mid-December. Both of these events indirectly put pressure on the fate of the Build Back Better Act because Congress’ attention will be divided among these major votes. 
 
All of that is to say that it continues to be crucial for us to keep up the pressure on Congress to pass the Build Back Better Act, including the historic investment for child care and early learning. As a reminder, the most recent version of NWLC the Build Back Better Act is here, a section-by-section is here, and a fact sheet on the child care portion is here.     
 

2. Key Findings from National Child Tax Credit Survey: CTC Monthly Payments Are Helping Improve Family Well-Being 
A national poll conducted by Ipsos Research - in conjunction with Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), Children’s Defense Fund, the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP), National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), Prosperity Now, UnidosUS, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center, shows the benefit of the expanded CTC.  Specifically, the expanded CTC has reduced families’ financial stress, helped them afford necessities, and allowed about one in four of those receiving monthly payments to work more hours outside of the home.  
The team surveyed 1,012 eligible families during the second and third weeks of October, after families would have received three rounds of monthly CTC advance payments. Ipsos surveyed eligible families with children ages 0-17 living at home and with incomes below $75,000. 
These findings will be useful as we continue to make the case for why the CTC expansions and the monthly payments are so important for lawmakers to extend beyond December. 


3. 7 Things to Know About Child Care and Universal Pre-K in the Build Back Better Act 
Alyssa Fortner of CLASP has released a new blog discussing the transformative change the Build Back Better Act will have. The article states, “This is a once-in-a-generation moment for children, families, providers, and our country. The child care and pre-K provisions of the Build Back Better Act, along with many other family- and child-focused provisions could change the trajectory for millions.”  Here are the seven things the Build Back Better Act would accomplish:  
 
1.       Lower child care costs for families  
2.       Guarantee high-equality child care 
3.       Increase availability of care 
4.       Improve compensation, professional development, and business sustainability for providers 
5.       Enhance quality of care for children    
6.       Establish mixed-delivery, universal pre-K   
7.       Center racial and gender equity   
 

4. Places for All Babies: Home-Based Child Care is an Essential Part of the Solution  
ZERO TO THREE's new policy brief highlights the value of increasing and strengthening both family child care (FCC) and family, friend and neighbor (FFN) providers. These home-based types of care are important to many families, as they frequently offer families cultural or language continuity, non-traditional work hours, or the convenience of being located within their immediate community. This brief also includes examples of state strategies, and recommendations that policymakers can explore to build robust mixed delivery systems that embrace both FCC and FFN as essential. 
 

5.  New Toolkit for high quality, equitable pre-K systems and Webinar  
Cultivate Learning at the University of Washington has a new resource, the Partnership for Pre-K Improvement (PPI) Toolkit, upk-improvement.org, which is dedicated to improving equitable access to high-quality pre-K.  
 
The PPI Toolkit guides state early learning agency leaders, researchers, and advocates from the initial stages of building partnerships and creating a shared vision for high-quality equitable pre-K through securing the resources and policies needed to design and implement specific, effective, and measurable continuous quality improvement efforts. The Toolkit is organized into three phases: 
 
·         Engage Stakeholders and Build Partnerships focuses on identifying and strengthening cross-sector partnerships among pre-K state leaders, researchers, and advocates who can work together to garner resources and support for equitable pre-K programs that provide positive early learning opportunities for every child. 
·         Assess the System uses the Implementation Development Map (IDM), an interactive self-assessment, to evaluate the state pre-K system using defined essential elements of high-quality pre-K. 
·         Implement, Improve and Advocate provides tools that support continuous quality improvement efforts with a strong focus on equity. 
 
Learn more about the PPI Toolkit on Thursday, December 8th from 11:00 am-12:00 pm PST/2:00 pm-3:00 pm EST. Sign up here to register. 
 

6. Endorse the Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act 
Please sign on your organization to join organizations representing childcare, anti-hunger and anti-poverty, health, nutrition, education, and others endorsing the upcoming Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act of 2021, an important bipartisan piece of legislation that supports healthy nutrition for children in child care by strengthening the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).  
 
CACFP plays an important role in improving the quality of child care programs, enhancing the nutrition of meals served, supporting small businesses, and making care more affordable for low-income working parents. This allows parents to work and kids to learn, grow, and thrive. 
 
The bill would: 
 
·         allow an additional meal or snack for children in a full day of care, which improves the adequacy of benefits;  
·         improve reimbursement rate adjustments for child care home providers, making sure reimbursements keep up with the cost of a providing a healthy CACFP meal;   
·         streamline participation for parents and providers by moving to annual eligibility for proprietary child care centers;  
·         maximize technology to eliminate overly burdensome and outdated paperwork; and  
·         make improvements to the serious deficiency process.
