Pay Raise for Childcare Providers with Lower Family Fees
EdSource: New bills would raise pay for child care providers and lower family fees
The child care industry has long been beleaguered. Many families can’t afford the care they need while many providers subsist on poverty wages.
Message from the Board
Please join us this Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 3:30pm for our monthly Community Support Network meeting. This month’s topic is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and we will receive a presentation from Alyssa Burke, CAPC Coordinator and Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) trainer on tangible tools that we can use to promote equity in our organizations.
We also want to take a moment to thank the road crews, public service providers, and first responders for keeping us all safe during this winter storm.
