Background:
On June 20, 2023, lawmakers united together and passed Vermont’s most  comprehensive child care bill into law. The 2023 Child Care Bill – Act 76 – makes Vermont’s child care system one of the most expansive in the nation. The bill promises to stabilize Vermont’s child care sector and make a quantum leap forward in providing access to affordable, quality child care for all Vermont families who need it.

Goal:
To learn about Vermont’s historic new child care law, the progress that has been made so far, and the child care movement that made it possible.
