First Five Years Fund

The First Five Years Fund, based in Chicago, IL, focuses on enhancing child care and early learning programs to support working families, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. They advocate for federal policies and investments that aim to improve access and affordability of child care services for families with young children.

Through various initiatives, including the Child Care Development Block Grant and the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, the organization strives to create a mixed-delivery system that prioritizes the unique needs of children and their families. They provide valuable resources and state-specific fact sheets illustrating the impact of federal funding on the early care and education landscape across the nation.
