Currently, Texas has some of the lowest standards in the country for child care professional development.  When it comes to increasing the quality of our child care in Texas, SB 1730 is a great step in the right direction.

Please email your Representative in the Texas House today and ask him or her to support this important legislation.

Sample Letter for Campaign

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am a member of your district and a supporter of high-quality early care and education in Texas. I hope I can count on your support for SB 1730, authored by Senator Royce West.

SB 1730 increases the minimum standards for the training of child care professionals in Texas. Currently, Texas has some of the lowest standards in the country for child care professionals. Low standards for our child care workers often translates into low quality child care environments. This bill takes a great step in ensuring that all the families that rely on child care can feel secure that they are leaving their children with a well-trained professional.

As you may know already, this bill makes no fiscal demands on the state of Texas. Supporting this bill means supporting working families and supporting the care of young children. It is important to me that you support the passage of SB 1730.

Thank you for all your efforts and your service to Texas.

Sincerely,
