Advocates say the state isn’t investing enough into the long-term stability of an underfunded child care and early education system.
Of the $97.5 billion surplus, about half — $49.2 billion — is readily available. Newsom proposes putting 99% of it into one-time spending.“A one-time infusion of dollars into any program will offer some stability, but the fact is that many programs and services that children and families rely on need ongoing funding for stability and long term planning and budgeting,” said Kristin Schumacher, senior policy analyst at the California Budget and Policy Center.
A few examples of long-term investments include providing pay increases, health insurance and retirement plans for child care workers, boosting the payments for the state’s paid family leave program and helping families pay for child care.
Decades of research indicates early childhood education significantly boosts children’s readiness to learn. Mariana Dale wants families, caregivers and educators to have the information they need to help children 0-5 grow and thrive by identifying what’s working and what’s not in California’s early childhood system.
