In a big win for Maine families and employers, a committee in the legislature today got rid of proposed cuts to childcare-related programs, including a stipend for early childhood workers. Educate Maine is proud to advocate for fair and competitive competition for those who care for and teach our youngest citizens. We urge legislators in Appropriations to follow the strong lead by the Health and Human Services Committee, and work to support childcare in Maine. https://www.pressherald.com/2025/03/05/health-committee-rejects-proposed-cuts-to-child-care-stipends/
