In just 24 hours, Washington lawmakers approved a new income tax to “fully fund” education—then passed a budget cutting over $1B from child care, early learning, and K–12.

Meanwhile, families are already paying over $20K a year for infant care—often more than college tuition.

Early learning isn’t optional—it’s foundational. Investing in our youngest learners means stronger schools, families, and futures.
