  1. "We know inadequate child care is an economic issue, costing states, families and businesses billions of dollars every year. We know it’s a gender issue that contributes to a widening pay gap. We know it’s a policy issue, made worse by the absences of a federal pre-K program and a federal paid-leave policy. But here is another critical consideration worth pushing for: Our country’s inadequate child care system is also a health care issue."

  5. Between 2019 and 2021, California lost more than 1,100 licensed childcare facilities and nearly 19,000 licensed spaces—more spaces than the number of children in Mendocino or 21 other California counties.

    In 2021, child care spaces were unavailable for nearly a quarter of California children ages 0 to 12 with working parents.
