Business, metro Atlanta both benefit from quality pre-K
Managing Partner Steve Lewis is published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for his guest byline, “Business, metro Atlanta both benefit from quality pre-K.” Lewis writes about the lack of quality, affordable child care in metro Atlanta and the associated challenges this presents for employers. He provides three steps the region can take to address the disparity, including supporting more flexibility in a federal subsidy program, promoting investment in a scholarship aimed at bridging funding gaps, and increasing business and government investment in childcare centers. He writes, “As part of our effort to keep metro Atlanta competitive, businesses must invest in our communities and in our people. By advocating for smart policies that boost high-quality child care, we can help strengthen our cradle-to-career pipeline and keep our region on a continued path for success.”
