State and local tax revenue dedicated for early care and education provides a largely untapped approach for early childhood leaders to consider. Noteworthy work has been done, both at the state and local levels, to support quality early care and education through dedicated taxes. This revenue can have a significant impact on long-term goals, as seen in the local children’s taxing districts in Florida or the approach to corporate and business taxation in Oregon. The pioneers who started this work in states and localities around the country demonstrate early successes in helping to close the extreme funding gap in early care and education. Local and state revenue generation contributes to national momentum. Funding Our Future: Generating State and Local Tax Revenue for Quality Early Care and Education catalogues the “what” of some of these foundational efforts and goes beyond them by introducing potential “next generation” tax policy ideas for consideration.
