The people taking care of our young children are overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. They are an important part of our society, and we are losing them to other professions at warp speed. Our daughter has been enrolled in a wonderful preschool program with outstanding teachers since she was a little older than 2. I am amazed daily by what she learns and how she grows. I realize how lucky we are to have such wonderful care for her.
Children are our future.
Child-care providers don t have time to sit they are too busy shaping our future. Sheri L. Hines is a working parent who lives in Columbia and has a daughter in child care.
