RI families are impacted by the high cost of #childcare. Read more stories like Fernanda's, a #PVD mother who wanted to continue working (while also being a mom!) — but the cost forced her to leave her career behind: bit.ly/2ZkMFpB

Pre-K, child care, and family home visiting are essential parts of a high-quality system to support young children’s early learning and development.
Please contact your state Reps and Senators and ask them to prioritize these important investments. rikidscount.org/PolicyAdvoca…

“A green light for these early childhood proposals today would ensure more kids grow up healthy, well-educated and prepared for productive lives in the years to come.” Chief Clements is the best example of a police leader that cares about the right things. providencejournal.com/opinio…
"...we recognize that the early years are when children develop crucial social-emotional skills and the foundation for long-term success in school, which greatly reduces the likelihood of involvement in the criminal justice system." 👏
Thank you @ProvidenceRIPD Chief Clements!👏
