If you’re paying attention to the news these days, you’ve seen that childcare is front and center! Congressional leaders are nearing a Halloween deadline to pass two separate bills tied to President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda. One measure, known as the reconciliation package, could dramatically (and instantaneously) change how families approach childcare and early childhood education. To better understand what’s truly at stake for parents & guardians nationwide and what you can do to help get this legislation over the finish line, Gloria welcomes Lauren Kennedy and Sarah Muncey of Neighborhood Villages. 

This podcast is presented by Neighborhood Villages, and is brought to you with generous support from The McCormick Foundation, Trust for Learning, and Spring Point Partners.
