"- Increase funding for child care so families are not on waiting lists, can access services without enrolling in CalWORKs, and gaps in service provision are minimized.
- Train prenatal doctors to inform parents about child care options and connect them with social services and child care resource and referral agencies.
- Allow parents to sign up for a child care subsidy when they are 6 months pregnant.
- Allow for automatic child care authorizations upon approval of CalWORKs to remove delays in child care access.
- Clarify or reform migrant child care regulations to not require a parent to move out of the county within 12 months to remain eligible for services."
