SEIU Kids First family child care providers and our allies are working hard at the Capitol to win more affordable licensing and background check fees, so providers can focus more on our kids.

"Understand how important we are—we are the reason our communities work. Our bill will help us provide better services for the children and parents who depend on us.”

—Tanya Shorter of St. Cloud, who testified at the Capitol

We’ve testified at committee hearings, talked to our legislators, written letters and signed postcards urging Minnesota lawmakers to support providers and our kids. Because we worked together, we’ve gotten our bill to reduce the licensing fee passed in the Senate.

Soon, the House will vote on our bill. As that vote approaches, it will be more important than ever that we stick together and keep urging our representatives to support family child care providers and the kids in our care.
