Investing in high-quality programs improves outcomes for children and families, and a high-quality child care program requires properly trained professionals who are paid appropriate salaries. We work with a multitude of dedicated child care providers, like Rookie of the Year awardee Noelia O'Leary. Noelia understands her important role and is currently enrolled in a Child Development Associate program so that she can best meet the developmental, emotional, and educational needs of the children in her care.
