"Having been a working mom, I know the importance of ensuring affordable, quality child care for all of our families. I also recognize how challenging it can be for working parents to access it. Working together to provide quality child care for all our families ultimately strengthens the Santa Barbara County community. It provides peace of mind for working parents and a strong foundation for our kids, resulting in more productive and educated citizens."
