About SEIU Kids First

We are Maryland’s family child care providers.  We raise and educate Maryland’s next generation.  Yet nearly half of us can’t afford health insurance, we get paid late, and we often struggle to cover our costs and pay our bills.

Now that we’ve won our union, we’re standing up for what’s fair and for the working families that depend on us every day.

    Child Care Providers Win Historic Contract

    DateJun 12, 2009

    In a historic move, your provider bargaining commitee has settled our first contract with the Department of Education and the Governor’s Office. Pending member approval, our contract will provide security and equality for Maryland providers, families, and children.

    Here’s some of what we’ve won: the formation a new joint Training Committee that will analyze the current training system and recommend future improvements, an average statewide subsidy increase of nearly 3 percent, and no increase in co-pay rates for parents.
