Episode 17:Federal Shutdown & Bipartisan Breakthroughs: What Employers Need to Know
Description
In this quick-hit episode, Greg and Doug break down three timely topics every employer should track:
- Federal shutdown implications for childcare: potential CCDBG disruptions, what’s likely, and how to support employees if subsidies pause or payments lag.
- The Child Care Modernization Act (SB 2828): bipartisan momentum, key provisions to fix provider payment rates, increase supply, and support mixed-delivery care—and why appropriations still matter.
- Colorado’s playbook: why the state ranks high on family resources, and market lessons on aligning employers, providers, government, and tech to actually move the needle.
Why it matters: Childcare is workforce infrastructure. When care is unavailable or unaffordable, employers lose talent and productivity. Get the signals to watch and practical moves to prepare.
