Day Without Childcare - Monday, May 12
Solano County will join the nationwide Day Without Child Care to demand a childcare system that puts people over profits. Parents and providers will gather in Vallejo, Napa, Fairfield, and Suisun to speak directly with elected officials, calling for equitable access to affordable child care, better pay for providers, and meaningful investment in our families, not more tax breaks for the wealthy.

12,866 children in Solano County are living in poverty.
In Solano County, 13.1% of children, or 12,866 kids, are living in poverty. This percentage rises to 15.8% among households led by a female head of household with no spouse present.
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.
