This showed up on my facebook feed and in a monthly newsletter I have been receiving from Child Care Aware.  Just so happens to go right in line with our topic this week.  This organization continues to be a valuable site.  Their mission is to promote national policies and partnerships to advance the development and learning of all children and to provide vision, leadership, and support to community Child Care Resource and Referral.  Their vision is similar to many of ours, a nation that supports the development and learning of all children.
