Join us at the Capitol in Harrisburg to recognize the critical contributions of the early childhood workforce and urge lawmakers to support: 

  • $10M increase for the Child Care Staff Recruitment and Retention Program. 
  • $2M increase for the Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program. 
  • $7.5M increase for Pre-K Counts. 

Look for the Start Strong PA table in the East Wing Rotunda (lower level). We will also be scheduling appointments so you can share your stories.
