Gov. Evers, DCF Announce Final Child Care Counts Funding Proposal Submitted for Approval

Press Release

"Two weeks ago today, I urged Republicans on the Joint Committee on Finance to approve my budget's foundational investment to support and continue Child Care Counts, and they carelessly rejected the investment--putting Wisconsin families, our workforce, and our economy at risk. Without this program, Wisconsin faces a perilous state of child care that will not only impact our current workforce and economy but also our future generations. With our state's longstanding workforce challenges, we simply cannot afford not to support our child care industry. I am again urging Republicans to urgently make the necessary investments in this critical program."
