The scale of this momentum now allows us to request formal meetings with several key budget committee members. My team is currently finalizing the briefing materials that outline the specific fiscal impacts of these funding gaps. I will provide an update once the legislative office confirms time on their calendar.

Working parents need this more then anyone realizes. Its not just childcare its actual learning and it helps the city so much.

My son loved his preschool program. It gave him such a head start and he learned so much. Please dont take this away from other kids.

Ridiculous that this is even a debate. Kids need to be in class and learning early not sitting at home because the city wants to save a buck.
