Child Care and Early Education Providers Are in Crisis. How Are Funders Responding?
NEW YORK, NY -- There is near-universal consensus that early-childhood education programs can break cycles of poverty and lead to lasting upward mobility.

Weeks of closure have likely led to permanent closures for thousands of child care centers.
