"I think the future of child care is in homes. We already have the infrastructure and the capacity. We just need to build up the staffing by trusting home-based providers to run quality programs, by treating us the way I treat my 3-year-olds, as capable, smart, human beings. In the past year, I’ve started college. I’ve gotten my five stars. I’ve applied for NAFCC (National Association for Family Child Care) accreditation. I am a professional. Pay me well, and I’m going to stay in business. I’m going to love these kids and teach them and take great care of them."
