 officials must think about early care and learning in a different way. We can educate them that in this day and age, child care is NOT just a part of social services…it is every bit a part of the infrastructure of our economy as roads, bridges, water and energy!
 It is important that everyone be aware of the research that indicates that 85% of a child’s intellect and personality are developed before the age of 5 yrs. The Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) is the federal  source of subsidy funds that comes to
 each state. As we know, this funding is crucial to working parents.  To keep USA working, we need to invest in quality early care and learning aka child care!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
