TAKE ACTION NOW TO TELL GOVERNOR WOLF AND THE PA GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO STOP POLICIES THAT WILL CLOSE MORE CHILD CARE PROVIDERS!

We know that the child care industry is critical for families and our economy. There is no doubt that if there is no child care, there is no economic recovery.

Join providers, parents, advocates and allies from across Pennsylvania in demanding that Governor Wolf and our General Assembly STOP the reinstatement of a policy that will close more child care providers!

Over the course of the COVID-19 crisis, OCDEL has been making child care subsidy payments based on the provider’s subsidy enrollment in March 2020. Effective Sept. 1, 2020 OCDEL will return to pre-COVID-19 procedures and subsidy payments will be based on actual attendance.
