“My oldest child is 10 and when he was in daycare it was everything I could ask for. I felt it was a little harder this time around bringing my daughter to daycare when she was three months old. However, her daycare is amazing and they have taken the best care of her and treat her like she is one of their own. I do have a New England Farm Workers voucher in order to pay for childcare and I am grateful for that because I wouldn't be able to utilize child care if I had to pay full tuition out of pocket.

“As my daughter is getting older I feel like I need something more in the schools for after school care. When my son was at his school he was able to utilize his the daycares after school program that was at the school. I was still able to use the rate and he had access to summer camp at the daycare as well. While daycare is currently fine, we have to readjust within a couple of years and there are no good programs for children at the kindergarten level.”
