Home-based #childcare providers are educators, but they are also small businesses with unmet operational and facilities needs. Many thanks to @proctergamble for supporting our efforts to address these needs in Boston, Newark and Phoenix. https://t.co/UotHgDyfaP

Increasing access to affordable child care would help to keep the youngest Rhode Islanders on track for success while strengthening our economy.

@GovDanMckee and I are pushing for a robust federal investment in these essential programs.
