Assemblyman Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles) was recently presented with a Child Care Champion Award by Parent Voices and the Child Care Law Center.

The award recognizes leadership in the California Legislature in making affordable child care a priority. Santiago was honored for authoring the Child Care Protections for Working Families Act – AB 60 – which was enacted as part of the 2017-18 state budget. The law sets new guidelines for affordable child care that are among the best in the country.

“While I am in the Legislature, I want to focus on our youngest children,” Santiago said. “I am a dad, and good child care is an issue for every family.”

Parent Voices is a grassroots organization striving to make quality child care accessible and affordable for all families. The Child Care Law Center is a nonprofit law firm. For information, visit asm.ca.gov.
