ADVISORY – DAUPHIN COUNTY – After Budget Address, Governor Shapiro and Secretary Dr. Val Arkoosh to Visit Childcare & Early Learning Center to Highlight the Governor’s Proposed Investments in the Childcare Workforce
Governor Josh Shapiro and Secretary of Human Services Dr. Val Arkoosh will visit CrossPoint Early Learning Center to talk about the Governor’s emphasis on workforce development in his 2025-26 Budget Proposal and his plans for expanding Pennsylvania’s childcare workforce.
During his first two years in office, Governor Shapiro signed into law a historic expansion of the Child and Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit and created a new tax credit for businesses who want to contribute to their employees’ childcare costs. Those two initiatives helped make childcare more affordable – and the Governor’s proposal this year would make childcare more available through an investment of $55 million to support childcare workforce recruitment and retention grants.
