Accessible, high-quality early childhood education gives young children from any background a more equitable start. From foundational cognition and social emotional development to adequate physical play and nutritious food, these building blocks break the cycle of poverty. Yet only 30% of children in Guilford County are enrolled in a licensed child care facility and centers are teetering on a child care cliff, struggling to stay open, let alone expand enrollment. How does it feel to be a parent or caregivers navigating such a complex system, one that directly impacts their ability to work and maintain a stable home? Dive into a deeper understanding of these barriers so we can work together to create a more equitable system for every child. Let’s be part of the solution.
