Sanders Reveals $1.5 Trillion Universal Childcare Plan

Sanders proposes a plan for free universal childcare and early education for American families. The plan includes full-day, high-quality childcare for children under three and free pre-K education. It is estimated to cost $1.5 trillion over ten years, funded by a wealth tax on the top 0.1%. The programs will be federally funded and state-administered, with standards like low child-to-adult ratios and minimum wages. Programs will operate for at least 10 hours daily to accommodate non-traditional work hours. Sanders emphasizes the importance of investing in early childhood education to create jobs and support families.
