This Cause has received an average user rating of   5.00  stars.

Cause:
Provide Highest Quality Child Care to all Children
Category: 
Human Services 
User Rating: 
Flag as Inappropriate:
Because 90 percent of a child’s brain develops by age 5, the quality of care a child receives during his or her early years can have lifelong impact.
Description of Cause:

With children of working mothers spending an average of 36 hours each week in some type of child care setting, the quality of care is paramount. The National Association of Child
Care Referral Agencies reports,"We were shocked to see in real detail how low the bar is set for the quality of care that 12 million children under age 5 are in each week."

Mission Statement:

Improve the quality child care for children-- including after school care -- regardless of socio-economic status.
