Show Notes

Washington states Working Connections Child Care Program, serving 44,000 low-income families, faces significant funding cuts due to House Bill 2689. The bill shifts payment from full-month reimbursement to actual in-person days attended, potentially reducing spots for low-income kids and threatening staff jobs, tuition affordability, and center viability. As childcare costs surge, this poses additional strain on families.
