**Attention Families- You can make a difference in your children’s education opportunities!**

As working parents and families, you have likely been impacted by the lack of accessibility and affordability of child care in Missouri and the United States. We encourage you not to underestimate the power of your voice. You are an expert in your own experiences and can create local, state, and federal change.

What can be done to improve the early childhood education experience for children and families in Missouri?

Your story helps policymakers understand the impact of their decisions and inform them on advancing the opportunity for all Missouri families to have safe, quality, and affordable child care.

Without child care, Missouri does not work. However, child care choices for families are constrained by the cost of care, low supply, and high demand in significant portions of the state.
