Gov. Evers Urges Republicans to Approve Investments Making Child Care More Affordable, Accessible

Press Release

"I hear it everywhere I go in Wisconsin: the Child Care Counts Program has been a lifeline for families and child care providers across our state, and without this critical program, providers across our state will have to close their doors, and working parents and families will be left in the lurch without care for their kids. Given our state's workforce challenges and our already historically low unemployment, Wisconsin literally cannot afford not to support our child care industry and make sure child care is affordable and accessible for families across our state. Expanding access to child care is what's best for our kids, it's what's best for our families, and it's what's best for our state's workforce and our economy, too. Republicans must do the right thing and approve my budget's critical investments to support and continue Child Care Counts today."
