No matter who’s in control of the State House or governor’s office after Nov. 5, child care advocates who won historic state investments in families and providers last session are hoping to build on that momentum: making the state’s child care scholarship program more accessible, expanding training stipends and creating a more stable state funding stream to support future investments. They say increasing money for recruitment and retention is also critical.
