In Washington DC, Congress is working on the country’s annual tax and spending plan, a process that will have an impact on vital child care issues, including child care access and affordability for more families. It’s important that we, members of the early childhood profession, let our representatives know that we want them to protect and expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC, or family care credit), which helps working parents keep more of what they earn to pay for child care.
