“Providing families with information and assistance in selecting high-quality child care services will increase public awareness of this issue, create a demand for more high-quality child care options, and strengthen the role of parents in informing public policy and improving practices”(Virginia Buysse).

Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the quote from Marian Wright Edelaman. I hadn't heard that one before! I will have to copy it and hang it up somewhere, great job!

Hello Amanda
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. It is so cool. I have to say that I agree with Dr. Virginia Buysse’s stamen. However, there are few childcare referral services out there to guide parent through the process of choosing a quality child care center. I think we have the big task of reaching out to parents and providing them with the information they can use to choose a good program that meets their children and family needs.
I loved the quote by Marian Wright Edelaman! Children represent innocence and all that is good with the world; if you don't stand up for them, you probably won't stand up for many other things. Children are definitely worth it.
ReplyDeleteMarian Wright Edelman's quote was the cover of my portfolio project in undergrad. I admire her work so much!
