Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Honorable members of the Santa Ana City Council, <br />It has come to my attention that there is a significant lack of resources available for childcare providers in our <br />city. Please realize that the lack of support for early education workers also shows a lack of support for thriving <br />families and businesses. I work in early education and I see the challenges faced by both childcare providers <br />and families due to the shortage of support. <br />The City Council's decision to forgo economic development support for the childcare sector is disappointing, as <br />it perpetuates the cycle of economic strain on working families. Our City must prioritize investing in the <br />childcare sector to ensure that all families have access to quality care and support. <br />Please think about the long-term impacts of your decisions and who you're really affecting. <br />Thank you. <br />Emma Clark <br />
