  3. 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." >

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 […]

  11. #DemocraticSocialists surge in mayoral races across the US as anti-Trump fervor rises

    By MATT BROWN

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "As #JaneeseLewisGeorge paves a path to the mayor’s office in #WashingtonDC, she’s told voters they could have it all.

    "Her unapologetically expansive, left-wing agenda includes subsidized or even free #childcare, increased down payment assistance for homebuyers and community resources to reduce crime, plus a promise to aggressively confront President Donald Trump’s attempts to reshape the nation’s capital.

    " 'People are tired of hearing what government can’t do. They want to hear what government can do,' Lewis George said in an interview before the city’s primary, where she defeated her Democratic opponents and positioned herself to win the general election in November in a city dominated by Democrats.

    "Lewis George’s victory signals a break with a quarter-century of centrist governance in Washington, and it puts her in the vanguard of democratic socialists who have ascended in urban politics over the last year. #ZohranMamdani toppled Andrew Cuomo, the scion of a political dynasty, on his way to becoming New York City mayor. #KatieWilson won an upset victory to lead Seattle last fall. And this month, #NithyaRaman clinched a spot in the November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass."
