Day Without Childcare 2026
Child care in America is broken, and families and providers are paying the price. Many families spend more on child care than rent, while child care workers are often paid poverty wages without the support they need to thrive. Rising costs across everyday essentials only add to the strain, making the current system unsustainable.
On May 11, we will stand with parents and providers calling for public investment in affordable care, fair wages, and a system that supports families, workers, and communities alike.
Details on the Solano County action will be shared soon, including how you can get involved and stand with us.

Children's Network in the News
Your gift can make a difference for children in need.
In Solano County, 13.1% of children, or 12,866 kids, are living in poverty. Among households led by a female head of household with no spouse present, this percentage rises to 15.8%.
While Solano County is known for its beauty, diversity, and affordable neighborhoods, many families still face challenges like the high cost of living, limited access to healthcare, and housing instability. Although resources are available, they are often scattered across different agencies, making it difficult for families to access the help they need. At Children's Network of Solano County, we are working to bridge these gaps and ensure that every family has the support they deserve.
