The Early Learning Coalition is proposing a $40 million increase in child care to improve the quality of child care for 46,000 low-income children. The Coalition’s proposal indicates that “an investment of $40 million per yearly would partially restore the child care payments cut in recent years, and strengthen the sustainability of quality programs through the Wisconsin Shares program and the YoungStar program.”
