Issues
Health
Children Now’s Health Policy Program fights to ensure that all children have access to high-quality affordable health care, including oral care.
Education and Child Care
Children Now’s Education and Child Care Program works to improve access to quality early care, preschool and after-school programs and advocates for excellence in K-12 public education for every child.
Media
The Children and the Media Program seeks a positive media environment for children, especially given that they spend more time with media than with any other activity except sleeping.
Research
Children Now believes we need to make smart investments in our children now: because we want them to have happy, healthy childhoods and because they will help us build a stronger society and a better future. We monitor federal and California budgets, legislation, and regulation for their impact on children, and advocate to ensure that children are the top priority in budget and policy decisions. We also provide policymakers and the public with reliable, current data about the status of children, helping to ensure that dollars are spent wisely and children get what they need.
