Want to honor Father’s Day? Fund child care

Earlier this year, we visited a child care center in downtown Los Angeles — reading a well-thumbed copy of “Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!” to a class of giddy preschoolers.

While the kids were enjoying story time, the anxiety of the adults lining the room was plain to see. These parents and early educators know how thoroughly our child care system is failing young learners and their families.

For millions of Americans, a quality early education means brutal financial sacrifices.
