All time, effort, and resources spent ensuring healthy development, care, and enrichment of children will be an investment in the long-term growth and health of the community's families and a future savings on resources that would be needed to provide remedial, treatment or incarceration interventions. Quality, accessible, affordable childcare is a fundamental need of parents attempting to make the transition from poverty to self-sufficiency. Without adequate and responsive child-care options, all other services and supports designed to assist these families become ineffective. These are a few of the reasons the Watershed has placed such a high priority on providing the highest quality early childhood development services to the most children possible.
