Earlier this week, we attended the Child Care Pep Rally & Celebration in Richmond to celebrate the historic investments Virginia has made in early education! Because of the bipartisan support, we continue to be able to serve 514 of our littlest learners through our Mixed Delivery program. Our team left the event inspired and reminded of just how important it is to continue to advocate together. Thanks to Virginia Promise Partnerships and Voices for Virginia's Children for an awesome event!
