  2. One quarter of Australian kids are ‘developmentally vulnerable’ when they start school. Quality childcare can catch them up

    "We know the first five years are a crucial time in a child’s life. Early experiences, such as family relationships or exposure to trauma, shape brain architecture, which lays the foundation for children’s learning, behaviour and health."

    "Worryingly, a significant proportion of young Australians are not getting the positive early experiences they need. As of 2024, almost 25% of Australian children were identified as “developmentally vulnerable” by the time they start school. This means many children lack the self-regulation, thinking, language, resilience, and social skills needed for learning and getting along with their peers."

    "Our research provides evidence that intervening early – well before children start school – has the potential to make a significant difference to children’s life trajectories." >

  3. Some have also raised concerns about whether it could increase the risk of fraud, since the money would be going to individuals rather than businesses. The admin has sought to crack down on #fraud in #SocialServices programs, particularly #childcare.

    The idea of paying #parents to stay home was outlined in #Project2025, the #conservative blueprint published by the #HeritageFoundation ahead of #Trump’s return to office, much of which overlaps with the admin’s #policy agenda.

  13. Under the draft new rule, #parents who stay home with their #children could benefit from the program, which typically provides about $9,000 per child each year, potentially reshaping which #families get #federal #childcare money.

    The move could end up redirecting money away from #WorkingParents & their child care providers, causing some to raise their rates or even close, critics said, potentially worsening what many experts say is a child care crisis in the country.

  18. The change would create the only federal subsidy to pay #parents to stay home & raise their children, one of the most significant efforts to date by the #Trump admin to harness federal funds to promote a #traditional view of #families.

    To do so, officials are seeking to use a #HHS fund that was created in the 1990s to help #LowIncome & #WorkingClass parents afford #childcare so they could work or go to school.

  23. How does Mr Trump feel about helping Americans?

    President Donald Trump made these remarks during an Easter luncheon at the White House on April 1, 2026. The event was closed to the press, but a video stream of the speech was briefly broadcast live on the White House social media accounts before being taken down. During the remarks, Trump stated: "Don't send any money for daycare, because the United States can't take care of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We have 50 states. We […]

  26. Add #SovereignTribalNations to the list of 25 states resisting #Trump's #BudgetCuts !

    #NativeCommunities could lose $24.5B under #Trump administration proposal
    If upheld by the courts, the proposed freeze on #FederalGrants would affect nearly every tribe

    by Amelia Schafer

    Excerpt: " 'Nearly all Tribes would be affected by a federal grant freeze, with many facing the prospect of losing tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars — funding that is critical for supporting some of the most historically underserved communities in the United States,' the report concluded.

    " 'When the federal government withholds funding from #Tribes and #NativeAmerican people, it’s not just a policy change. It’s a violation of those commitments — putting essential services at risk and undermining Tribal governing capacity.'

    "A federal appeals court will decide if the administration has the legal authority to mass-suspend the grants, with arguments set in coming months in a lawsuit filed by the state of New York against President Donald Trump and his top administrators.

    " 'as litigation around OMB’s funding freeze continues, it is essential that federal decisionmakers recognize the unique basis of funding for Tribes and #NativeAmerican people,' the report states. 'Funding to #IndianCountry is rooted in longstanding, legally-binding agreements between the United States and sovereign Tribal nations — not race, climate, or DEI.'

    "At the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term, the OMB issued a sweeping order announcing a halt to federal grants nationwide, throwing tribal programs into turmoil.

    "Although the grant freeze was temporarily halted, the administration continues to push for its implementation, and tribes continue to report difficulties in accessing the already-approved funds, the report notes.

    "The bulk of the at-risk funding is dispersed through programs such as the Department of Health and Human Services [#DHHS], the Bureau of Indian Affairs [#BIA] and the Bureau of Indian Education under the Department of the Interior, the Department of Commerce and the #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency.

    "If the funding freeze clears legal hurdles, critical projects across the country will be at risk, the Brookings report said. These projects include a $35 million grant to the #OglalaSioux Tribe for #broadband development, a $3 million grant to urban #NativeHealth board for community health worker training, and a $200,000 grant to the #Chickahominy Indian Tribe for preliminary #engineering and #environmental work towards a #childcare center.

    " 'This is the building block of how the U.S. government pays back tribes for the land it took,' Maxim said.

    "The report does not include the sweeping cuts approved under Trump’s so-called '#BigBeautifulBill' by Congress, which includes cuts to #Medicaid, #FoodStamps and other social programs that include Native people as well as others, Brookings officials said.

    "The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization based in Washington, D.C. Maxim co-authored the report with Glencora Haskins, research associate and applied research manager."
