Accessible, affordable child care is essential for a strong workforce and a thriving local economy.
Childcare has been a challenge for decades, but the pandemic has shown a light on just how much work has yet to be done. Advocates believe childcare should be recognized as a vital component of our local economy and should be supported with policies that guarantee its quality, affordability, and accessibility.
Join us to learn from childcare expert, Annemarie Valdez, President of First Steps Kent, an independent nonprofit leading a community-wide effort to build a comprehensive early childhood system in Kent County, Michigan. Annemarie brings more than 20 years of experience as an advocate for children and families, including a focus on innovative funding strategies, a successful millage campaign, and next-generation leadership.
