Why Is This Important?
Quality child-care services provide important benefits to a community and the region by contributing to early-childhood development, enhancing children’s social skills, and resulting in more economically productive careers, as well as great personal and community civility. Additionally, child-care services enable parents of young children to work, which reduces employers’ recruiting and training costs for new employees following turnover due to parents’ inability to obtain adequate child care.
