My child has been attending child care since 11 months old and currently getting ready for kindergarten. It’s difficult having both parent work full time but in theis economy we don’t have a choice. Child care has played a bit role in my child’s life and has thought them many important skills. This is in part of the great program and planning that goes on behind the scene. Watching my child get ready for kindergarten, I’m confident they have the skills to succeed and they will thrive in school. My child spends 40 hours a week in a child care center so the achievement that they have comes from all the teachers and activities. Without this, our children will suffer and put more pressure on parents. There is a big emphasis on healthcare right now and as a health care staff, I would not be able to give my time to work with the childcare and attention provided to my child. Most of our healthcare staff have young children, if the government really wants to help healthcare, they need to help our children to ease the Burdon of their workers.
