We fought and we won. 👏 While providers operate in a deficit each month as our costs of running our businesses skyrocket, we need a payment structure that meets the #truecostofcare now -- that's why we fought for #AB1981.

This bill sets the stage for providers to work immediately with our next governor to finally move to paying us the true cost of care, so that providers aren't forced to close, and parents can access quality, affordable child care.

This year, #CALeg and @GavinNewsom, approved a 2.009% cost of living adjustment that will bring some relief to providers, but not enough. Our pay only covers 30% of our rent, utilities, and groceries, and 2/3 of providers can't meet a basic need housing.

Until providers are paid the #truecostofcare, we will continue to be forced to close our doors and working families will continue to be left scrambling to find care.

CCPU member Bernice Jimmons earned her degree at 82 years old, in part through the support of the CCPU Training Fund. THIS is why we fight.

As Hispanic/Latino heritage month comes to an end, we're standing strong in our fight for fair pay. The facts: 📊 44% of child care providers in California are Latina women 📊 California only pays providers 30%, on average, of what it costs to provide child care

📊 More than 2/3 providers report not being able to meet their basic needs This isn't an accident. Women's labor — especially women of color — is historically and systemically undervalued. We're fighting to end this system rooted in racism.

Our child care system is straining. Providers are closing, and limited slots makes accessing quality, affordable child care difficult on parents. This is why we must be paid the #truecostofcare now, and the state must continue to fund more subsidized spaces for families.

Child care providers were thrilled to join @childcarelaw at Uncorking the Future of Child Care. 🚸 Thank you, for providing a space for child care providers to share our experience with building early education foundations for California's kids.

🗳️ The countdown to #electionday is on and providers are knocking on doors to talk to our neighbors about investing in public services and supporting candidates who will safeguard workers' rights, champion child care provider pay and expanded options for parents. 💪

For child care providers, losing our homes in a natural disaster means losing our businesses and our livelihoods. 💔 In the wake of the 2025 Los Angeles fires, we fought for the State to include child care providers in disaster relief funding, and we won.

The 2026-27 #CABudget includes $11.5 million in one-time funding for child care providers to recover from natural disasters, wildfires, and other declared disasters.

😠 Family, Friend, and Neighbor providers were originally left out of the budget, but we FOUGHT BACK and won an initial $200,000 for FFNs. These victories are the result of providers organizing, speaking up, and standing together. 💪
