Municipal leaders invested in growing the early learning & care system are vital for thriving, livable communities.
Municipal leaders play a critical role in creating a community infrastructure that supports working families by investing and partnering in early learning and child care services. Access to affordable, high-quality child care is not only essential for families but also drives economic stability and growth, ensuring thriving communities where families want to work, play and live. The challenges in the early care landscape, amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, have left many communities struggling to meet demand. By leading initiatives and forming partnerships, municipal leaders can take action to address these needs and foster more resilient and prosperous communities.
