We want to thank Massachusetts’ elected officials for crafting a FY’25 budget that continues to make progress on building a high-quality, early education system for young children, families, educators, and communities.
Please join us by taking a moment to thank legislative leaders and thank Governor Healey.
Your advocacy has paid off!
This budget invests more than $1.5 billion in high-quality early education and care by:
• sustaining C3 grants at $475 million
The budget also funds:
• workforce development
• preschool expansion (CPPI)
• child care waitlist reduction
• child care affordability, and
• Head Start
For all the details, visit our state budget webpage.
In the months ahead, Strategies for Children will be closely watching the implementation of the budget’s investments, and we will share updates on The 9:30 Call, so please join us — and thank you for your advocacy.
