NC Budget Wins: 5 Investments Shaping Our Future – Part 4

Access to quality child care is still a challenge for too many families – especially in underserved communities. This budget takes action with a $3.25 million pilot program to increase the number of Family Child Care Homes!

Key details:

βœ… Three pilot sites will be located in the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and Mountain Regions – reaching communities across our state

βœ… Focus on underserved communities where child care options are limited

βœ… Continued investment in the state's Early Education Information System (EEIS) to strengthen program administration

Expanding supply means more families can find the care they need, close to home!
