Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) took a tour of the Walker-Grant Center in Downtown Fredericksburg, where pre-school age children learn, to promote the education and workforce portion of the White House's "Build Back Better" plan.
During the tour, Sen. Kaine informed members of the Fredericksburg City School Board and other assembled educators that out of the bills' funding of $1.7 trillion over 10 years, $400 billion of that funding will go toward early child care as well as preschool to 12th-grade education.
The education portion of the bill would be used to fund universal free preschool and access to early childcare for children between the ages of three and four. Kaine said 145,000 children in Virginia don't have access to early child care. The Senator also noted that early child care currently costs on average $8,300 a year per child, which some families would find difficult to afford.
