High on my list of reasons for young families like mine to love the valley are the high-quality early childhood education options available to us. Between them, my two kids attended three preschools — each one a truly exceptional experience. I thank all my kids’ early childhood teachers for the incredible start they provided my kids, setting them up for a lifelong love of learning.

However, I sat down recently with a group of directors representing our local child care centers to discuss their challenges, and it became clear: we’ve also got serious work to do.
