Accessible and Affordable Child Care
We are partnering with the Department of Workforce Services and Voices for Utah Children to make it a reality.
We believe in increasing subsidies to extend the covered childcare hours available to families to include outside of business hours.
Groups we partner with across Salt Lake County
who offer free or low-cost children centered services:
-
-
Childcare, after school programs and adult care. Bilingual Spanish services offered.
-
-
-
Preschool and childcare for behavior and emotional support. Child and family therapy available.
-
-
DDI Vantage Early & Head Start programs
-
Childcare and learning centers in Salt Lake and Toole Counties. Parenting classes and home-based services.
-
-
DDI Vantage Early Intervention
-
Services for children under 3 years old who have developmental delays or disabilities.

Utah Community Action Head Start programs

Equity in access to internet and technology, especially during Covid-19, is crucial.
We fight for low-income families to have (low cost or free) high speed internet.
Access to affordable child care is essential for working families. We believe childcare should not be a luxury, but available to all who need it. Child care that is offered during non-traditional business hours is also important.
