Group wants child care system protected

May 22, 2007 By WRN Contributor

State lawmakers are being urged to protect child care services. The Wisconsin Council on Children and Families has sent a memo to members of the Legislature's budget committee, opposing some provisions of the Governor's budget.

Council director Charity Eleson says one of those proposals would reduce eligibility and create co-payments under the Wisconsin Shares program. Eleson says the basic program is extremely helpful for many low-income Wisconsin families by allowing them to work while their children are in supervised settings.

On the other hand, Eleson's group is supporting a proposed quality rating system for child care providers.
