" To create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions"
Too often, children are placed with sitters and child care centers without caregivers investigating where their child will be spending a great deal of time. Children have the right to a safe, healthy environment, unfortunetly in my town there is a lack of reliable child care for low income families. I would like to help change this one day soon.
So glad to see someone so committed and passionate on the safety and well-being of children. It encourages me to remain an advocate for children and their families.

There also seems to be a lack of quality childcare for low-income families in my town as well. If parents want quality childcare here, you have to have your name on a waiting list for up to a year, and even if your child gets in, you have to pay an arm and a leg for your child to attend, which is almost not worth it. Many of my friends are stay-at-home moms because they can't afford the quality childcare in this area. How do you plan on changing this in the future for your area?
