Genesis Center honored to host Governor Dan McKee, Congressman David Cicilline, and Congressman Jim Langevin this morning as part of the #CareEconomy week of action.
President and CEO Shannon Carroll spoke about childcare as an economic driver, “Fortunately for the nation, for RI, for childcare providers like Genesis Center, the climate is changing and people are recognizing that childcare and early learning are critical drivers of our workforce. Without high quality, consistent care and learning, our families cannot attain and retain high quality, living wage jobs.“
Early Learner Center Director Ngina Johnson shared her experience as a parent and an educator, "So many parents are being forced to make hard family decisions right now. Childcare and education shouldn’t be one of them. They deserve the comfort that I have every day of bringing their child or children here to a place like Genesis Center, where they know that their children are loved and receiving a quality education."
We are grateful for the opportunity to highlight the importance of access to affordable, high-quality childcare.
