Expand childcare options for firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics by supporting grants for childcare during shift work and non-traditional hours.

“First responders across eastern North Carolina work long shifts, nights, weekends, and holidays to keep our communities safe, but finding childcare that works around those hours can be a real challenge,” said Davis. “I am proud to co-lead the Providing Childcare for Firefighters and EMS Act to help communities expand childcare options that reflect the realities of first responders’ schedules. Our firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics are there for us at all hours of the day, so we should ensure their families have the support they need to continue serving our communities.”

Davis said he is co-leading the Providing Childcare for Firefighters and EMS Act to help communities expand childcare options suited to first responders’ schedules.
