It costs money to create and sustain a child care environment that promotes healthy brain development. When communities make quality child care services available to families, they help to lay a solid foundation for a child’s social, emotional, communication, physical and intellectual development. Good environments and positive interactions help create optimal brain development. A child with this solid foundation will be an engaged and contributing member of their community and economy. We've gathered resources to help community members begin a conversation about the importance of quality child care with their legislators or with others in the community.
