Bipartisan support for MIECHV was on full display during a recent House Ways and Means Subcommittee hearing. Hear directly from members of Congress as they discuss the impact of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program and why its reauthorization matters.

45F is making an impact on families and employers nationwide! Thank you @RepJasonSmith for calling attention to the child care needs of working families and supporting solutions that help keep the economy running.
Rep. Jason Smith@RepJasonSmith

“Frontier Co-op utilizes the 45F tax credit and subsidizes a portion of childcare costs for employees, with families paying roughly $110–$115 per week per child for on-site care.” Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, small businesses receive enhanced tax benefits for providing childcare assistance to their employees. ffyf.org/2026/03/28/how…

A new report by @amprog highlights the importance of early learning in literacy development. CAP’s findings support the need for investments in quality early learning programs to build a lasting foundation for children’s language and literacy skills.

Thank you @SenatorFischer for leading the way in strengthening childcare by introducing the Child Care Modernization Act with co-sponsor Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). #ChildCare #Nebraska #ChildCareWorkforce

Affordable child care is something families need today. The bipartisan Child Care Modernization Act would strengthen CCDBG, increase child care supply, better support providers, and help more working families get the care they need. 🎥 Watch our latest deep dive to learn what's in the bill and why it matters. Ask your lawmakers to sign on at FFYF.org/take-action

A new report from @JECDems “lays out ways that businesses and their employees can save money through increased use of already existing child care tax cuts”. The report outlines three key child care tax credits – the CDCTC, DCAP, and the Employer-Provided Child Care Credit (45F) – that help businesses and working families reduce the cost of child care.

The @pewresearch Center recently released a report examining the biggest challenges parents face in finding child care. Their findings show a clear pattern: affordability is the greatest obstacle parents face when securing child care.

It’s no secret how ridiculously expensive child care is in Nevada. Three out of four kids in our state do not have access to a licensed child care provider – that's unacceptable. Parents shouldn’t need to choose between having a full-time job or taking care of their kids. I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan Child Care Modernization Act to address this crisis by helping child care providers expand their reach and allowing more families in our community to access the high-quality child care they need.
