If Congress allows billions in childcare relief to expire in three weeks, parents are going to pay the price.

As the industry consolidates, it runs the risk of putting profits ahead of kids—and setting back the movement for universal childcare.

What toddler teacher is going to stick around when she could work with 4-year-olds and make double the money?

The politics of climate and the politics of care are closely linked. An alliance is overdue.

Business leaders and corporate cheerleaders talk a good game about the importance of quality early care while fleecing working families.

It will make the policies more politically palatable. And it will help compensate kids for the heated world they're inheriting.

The Democrats want to increase public assistance for struggling parents, but child care should be free for all Americans.

Parents of young kids need to get serious about climate change. And that starts by showing up to vote.

Republicans have long made callous excuses for depriving poor Americans of this vital benefit. This administration has concocted a few of its own.

There's no better way to help children develop and succeed.
