Information about quality childcare and how to choose a childcare provider can be found at the following site:

Research shows that for every $1 spent on quality childcare, $7 is saved in later years on developmental, psychological, and corrections support.

Safe, quality childcare is essential for women's economic security. It allows them to be in the work force or to attend school while having peace of mind about their children's care.
