Investing in Child Care is Investing in our Future

Submitted by admin on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 7:53am

Dear Editor,
Early childhood care and education are public goods and the foundations of our entire economy. As someone who has owned and operated my own family child care business since 2007, I understand how important quality child care is for our community.
Early care and education allow parents to work, businesses to operate and entrepreneurs to start businesses - while young children are cared for and educated. Further, they build the foundation for all future learning, employment and innovation.

UScellular Is Pledging up to $13 Million to Help Up to 50,000 Youth Connect and Close the Homework Gap
