“I am doing everything possible to oer high-quality care and to be fair to the immigrant families I serve who cannot aord expensive child care. But we providers also need support. We are growing the future, and it just makes sense to invest a little bit of money in children when they are young to make sure they are healthy, strong and ready for school.” // Estoy haciendo todo lo posible para ofrecer un cuidado infantil de alta calidad, y ser justa con las familias de inmigrantes que sirvo y no pueden pagar un servicio de cuidado infantil más caro; pero también los proveedores necesitamos apoyo. Estamos ayudando a crear el futuro, y solo hace sentido el invertir un poco más de dinero en los niños cuando todavía son pequeños, así aseguramos que crecerán saludables y fuertes y listos para la escuela.”
