1/4 Our next story: I am a #family #childcare provider in business over 8 years in PHL; also a mother of 1. My program serves 6 children from 6 weeks - school age in the W. Philadelphia and surrounding area. I employ members of the community to work in my program. #FundChildCare
2/4 My program is 1 of 32 centers partnering w/ @FreeLibrary of Philly's Literacy in Early Learning Spaces project funded by @Vanguard_Group Strong Start for Kids. I've received intensive coaching & Professional Development in literacy & language development. #FundChildCare
3/4 This program has helped me increase the quality of my childcare program. Since beginning this program in Fall 2019, I've been able to provide literacy resources to low income families in my community through our childcare program and family engagement events. #FundChildCare
4/4 As we prepare to reopen our child care program, the cost of implementing new practices without additional funding causes us all great worry! Please #FundChildCare #SaveChildcare #SaveEarlyLearning @SenToomey @SenCasey
