Working families need safe, affordable places for their children. It is difficult to find and retain a job when you don't have consistent care for your kids.
Seattle has demonstrated commitment to investing in child care by providing subsidies to working families. Continue that commitment. Invest in quality childcare, keep reimbursement rates as high as possible. Monitor quality and safety and publicize records.
Adjust zoning to keep rental/tax rates on child care buildings affordable. Improve transportation access to child care centers. Encourage employers and residential developers to create on-site programs.
