## Resource

A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers is rallying behind a bold plan to overhaul America’s childcare system, calling it a broken system that’s costing families and providers alike. After a year of research, they’re pushing for higher wages for childcare workers, greater private sector involvement, and updated regulations — arguing that childcare isn’t just a family issue but a critical economic one. With states like New Mexico leading the charge through innovative funding models, the push is gaining momentum — and businesses are starting to see the value, too, as childcare benefits become a key tool for attracting talent. The message is clear: fixing childcare requires a national effort — and time is running out. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
