Every family should have at least three affordable child care options within 15 minutes of home or work. Our plan would get there by dramatically expanding the supply of child care, making care more flexible for parents, strengthening the child care workforce, and bringing employers to the table. This isn’t about creating a one-size-fits-all government program. It’s about giving working families what too many don’t have today: real choices that are affordable, close by, and actually fit their lives.
