How States Can Use Economic Recovery Funds to Help Child Care

Yes, my bias here is clear – I take a particular and personal interest these days in all things related to parental leave and child care.

Do you? Then this call is for you. The National Women’s Law Center and the Center for Law & Social Policy are hosting a call tomorrow to discuss how states are using their economic recovery funds to help boost support for child care and support working families.
