Child Care Advocates Issue Joint Statement on Education Budget Cuts for Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC)

On June 2, 2025, the Joint Ways & Means Subcommittee on Education passed $45 million in budget cuts for the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) in Senate Bill 5514. On Friday, June 6, the bill was passed and sent to the Senate for a vote.

As a coalition, Child Care for Oregon (CCFO) strongly opposes these cuts. They are not just bad policy—they are a moral failure that puts Oregon’s families and early educators in greater crisis.
