OUR INITIATIVES

 

Like you, we believe all children deserve the care, education, and enrichment that lets them be the best they can be, from cradle to career. By making quality care and education more affordable for hardworking families, we ensure a brighter future for children, regardless of their family’s income. By bringing together community partners, we allow parents to have a choice in the type of care and education they think is best for their child, while ensuring that all children are safe and well cared for:
