Child Care for Oregon

Directions Website Contact the organization

Join us! In order to achieve this vision, we must reimagine a system that values child care and the diverse professionals who provide care.

Our vision is to build a universal, publicly-funded child care system in Oregon that is equitable, affordable, culturally-relevant, inclusive, developmentally appropriate, safe and community-led. Child Care for Oregon is a coalition of nonprofit organizations, labor unions, community advocates, parents, caregivers and providers working to build a comprehensive child care system in Oregon. This new system must be developed by and for the Black and Indigenous people, people of color, and the largely women providers and parents who know the most about child care.

🧢 Introducing: FACT OR CAP FRIDAY! 🧢

Every Friday, we’re putting a child care fact to the test and inviting YOU to play along! Make your guess, then swipe to see if you got it right. ➡️

This week’s fact: The average cost of toddler care in Oregon is nearly double the average annual cost of in-state tuition at a public university.

This is terrifyingly true.

We know families shouldn’t have to choose between paying for child care and making ends meet. That’s why we’re inviting you to join us in taking action to build a child care system that works for every Oregon family.

Ready to take action?
📣 Submit testimony for Preschool for All!
📣 Email your local lawmakers and ask them to prioritize affordable child care for every family!

Let’s make sure child care is affordable and accessible for every Oregon family. 💪

We are so appreciative of Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici modeling what a child care champion leader does.

The Daycare Not Detentions Center Act would divest $70 billion from ICE and reinvest to programs like Headstart, child care, and preschool programs.
