Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />To whom it may concern: <br />It is clear that there is a critical lack of resources available for childcare providers, and therefore families, in our <br />city. <br />When the success of children is neglected, the state of the community in which those children live will suffer. <br />As a dedicated childcare provider in Santa Ana, I speak from experience. <br />I am deeply concerned about the challenges faced by both daycare owners and families due to this shortage of <br />support. <br />The city council's decision not to fund economic development programs for the childcare sector is very <br />unfortunate and leaves many of us feeling overlooked and undervalued. <br />This lack of support not only impacts the well-being of our children but also contributes to the economic strain <br />on working families. <br />City council must reconsider and prioritize support for the childcare sector. <br />Roberta Johnson <br />
