Our mission: to achieve and sustain affordable, high-quality child care options for families and communities.

Many of the extraordinary gains Minnesota child care advocates made since 1983 have been steadily eroded over the last decade. Parents are working longer hours, poverty and inequality are increasing, and families are having more difficulty meeting even basic needs of housing, food and health care.

Yet despite widespread evidence that high-quality child care helps to alleviate these stresses and helps all children build healthy, positive learning skills, too often our leaders are choosing instead to disinvest in child care.

Affordable, quality child care is essential to the well-being of Minnesota families and communities….but frankly, child care needs more champions among our policy and community leaders.

Get involved today - learn more about our work, get involved as an advocate, or give a gift that builds our capacity to create and support child care champions.

Thank you!
