Parents, providers, educators, businesses, and community members working together to build a child care system that works for Utah families
Utah's Child Care System Is at a Critical Moment
Utah's Child Care System Is at a Critical Moment
Changes to Utah's child care assistance program would mean working families paying significantly more for care, prevent families from qualifying for assistance, and create additional financial pressure on child care providers already operating on thin margins.
This is not only a child care issue. It is a workforce issue, a family economic stability issue, and a Utah economy issue.
UCCFCC is bringing parents, providers, businesses, advocates, and community leaders together to ensure the people most affected by child care policy have a voice in what happens next.
