S tate Senator Sal DiDomenico recently spoke at the Massachusetts Association of Early Education & Care (MADCA) State House Advocacy Day. MADCA represents more than 600 early education centers and family childcare systems that provide services from North Adams to Boston to the Cape. Each day, they provide high-quality early education and care for tens of thousands of low-income, at-risk or highneed children in the subsidized care system. Senator DiDomenico introduced Senate President Karen Spilka before her speech at the event. “I am proud to have led on this issue for years promoting the legislature’s commitment to strengthening this sector, stabilizing childcare providers and expanding access across the state,” said DiDomenico in his remarks. “As a father of two children, I understood the need for high-quality early education and care personally. I have worked tirelessly to help make our state the only one to avoid the funding cliff that arose after federal funds from COVID dried up. I am proud to work alongside Senate President Spilka and my colleagues to ensure educators are making more money, we are reducing turnover, programs are stable, and more kids are learning in high-quality settings.”
