Wow, what a difference it makes to know that there are people out there supporting and encouraging me in all that I am trying to do. I appreciate so much the many providers who reached out to support me after last week’s E-letter. It makes me even more determined to build a solid community to support all early childhood professionals.

I’ve been thinking a lot about appreciation and gratitude this week. I have been noticing how magical life becomes when I’m in that frame of mind. I’m not really doing anything different in my daily routine, but somehow, doors are opening that I didn’t even know were there. I’m having so many great conversations with providers and discovering more and more ways that we can be there to support you in making a difference in your communities.

One of the things that came out of these conversations is that we are now partnering with mentors and leaders all over California and in many other states to support them in making the most of our powerful tools and services to help the providers in their areas leverage time, money and resources to their advantage. And this is only the beginning!

Between your feedback and the assistance from my wonderful Childcare Bridge support team, I am confident that we can all build that bridge into a more positive and supportive environment in our childcare industry. It’s so exciting to see what can happen when people come together in a spirit of service to form a community!

Thank you again for helping us to support you.
