Emergency child care funds from the pandemic will expire this month. If nothing is done, centers could shut down and thousands of kids could be left without care.
, legislation that would provide more child care funding at the federal level.More than $24 billion in federal emergency funding helped keep the child care industry from collapsing during the pandemic.If those funds run out, it could push providers, parents and more than 3 million kids towards a child care cliff. Jacobs said around 80,000 kids and 13,000 programs in California would be impacted.
For every dollar invested into the child care system, the federal government saves $6 in other areas, Jacobs said.Jacobs said in San Diego and across the country, it's already incredibly hard to find and afford child care.Jacobs is part of a group of Democratic lawmakers in the Senate and Congress pushing the bill.
"It actually ends up working out really well for the government, because you actually end up getting more taxes from increased labor force participation from higher earnings, from the kids who have high quality, early education throughout their lifetime, less cost in other areas like health care and criminal justice," she said.
