LETTER: Khanna’s Priority for Childcare and Early Childhood Education Makes a Real Difference for Families

Submitted by Sumati Prabhu, Greenwich

I am writing to highlight the important work that State Representative Rachel Khanna has done to support working families in our district, particularly in the area of affordable childcare. As a parent, I know how crucial affordable, high-quality childcare is for families trying to balance work and family responsibilities. Rachel has made this a priority, and her efforts are making a real difference for families across Connecticut.

One of Rachel’s key accomplishments has been her work to increase funding for childcare programs that support working families. She has been a strong advocate for expanding access to affordable childcare and early childhood education programs, recognizing that these services are essential for parents to maintain employment and provide a stable future for their children. Her support for increased resources for childcare providers, particularly in underserved areas, is helping to ensure that more families have access to the care they need at a price they can afford.

Rachel’s advocacy has also extended to improving the quality of childcare services. She has worked to secure additional funding for early childhood education programs and mental health resources for children, ensuring that our youngest residents receive the support they need to thrive. This is especially important in a time when many families are facing increased stress and uncertainty.

By focusing on affordable childcare, Rachel Khanna is helping to lift up working families and ensure that every child in our district has the opportunity to succeed. Her commitment to this issue is one of the many reasons I support her continued leadership in the Connecticut State Legislature.

Sincerely,
Sumati Prabhu
