I think this will be a very challenging year for us ahead. |
The fact is, (we have) a very dynamic place. It changes to meet provider needs, and the staff is really good if people want and need help. |
There is no bilingual child care, and these children are arriving to kindergarten without the same early childhood experiences to help them succeed. |
Three years ago, almost 80 percent of child care facilities (in Pitt and Martin counties) were one star. Now, it's less than 50 percent. |
You don't want to invest a lot (in toys) when you know the child is not a full-time resident. |
