Supporting Infants and Toddlers Through Federal Relief and the American Rescue Plan

Child care assistance makes quality child care more affordable and helps low-income parents access the child care they need to go to work or school to support their families. CLASP develops and promotes child care assistance policies that expand access for low-income families, improve the quality of child care across settings, and strengthen the early childhood workforce. We work with advocates and policymakers nationally and in states to improve child care subsidy policies for children and families.
