Please join an advocacy effort being led by the national nonprofit Child Care Aware of America by creating a 90-second video about the importance of stabilization grants.

Stabilization grants have had a powerful, positive impact on helping early childhood providers stay open during the pandemic.

But funding for these grants is going to expire later this year!

That’s why Child Care Aware is seeking “perspectives from more child care providers in every state. Can you submit a short video? Sharing your story can help leaders and policymakers hear about the challenges child care continues to face and the difference that additional funding can make for programs and families nationwide.”

Making a video is easy. You can click here to watch a sample video. Then click on the button marked “Start Your Video,” and you’ll see prompts about what to say. You’ll also have to grant the website permission to access your computer’s microphone and camera.

You can also click on the video above to watch highlights of other providers’ videos.

Please join this national effort by sharing your voice and your story.
