Sen. Elizabeth Warren is blueprinting to unveil a universal child care plan that would guarantee American families access to child attention.
The Massachusetts Democrat, a 2020 presidential candidate, would use part of the revenue from her proposed tax on the ultra-wealthy to fund her boy care plan. A person familiar with the plan outlined it ahead of its release Tuesday on condition of anonymity.
Warren’s drawing would set up a federal program to guarantee child care from birth until children’s entry into clique. Families with income less than 200 percent of the poverty line would get free access. Other ancestries would pay no more than 7 percent of their income.
Her plan would guarantee compensation for child care program artisans at rates comparable to public school teachers in their areas.
