State Budget Must Fund Wisconsin's Child Care Centers

DANE COUNTY, WISCONSIN, JUN 23 – Governor Evers demands $442 million to sustain Child Care Counts, warning 25% of Wisconsin centers may close without funding, risking workforce and economic impacts, officials said.

  • Governor Tony Evers met with childcare professionals and parents in La Crosse on June 25 to discuss funding for families and care centers.
  • This meeting occurred amid a Republican-controlled budget process that cut the Child Care Counts program, risking the loss of $87 million in funding by June 30.
  • Childcare centers in Wisconsin face closures and staffing shortages as workers leave for better-paying jobs and families struggle with rising costs and limited access.
  • Evers emphasized that Republicans must regroup and return to negotiations soon, urging them to complete the budget process, and cautioned that he would reject any budget proposal that excludes funding for childcare.
  • The potential end of Child Care Counts and budget delay may cause center closures, layoffs, and increased strain on families, highlighting the need for continued state investment.
