WHEREAS, each day in our community hundreds of parents place their
infants and young children--our nation's most precious
resource--in the hands of child care providers in ever
increasing numbers; and

continue to heighten the demand for child care during the
working hours (by 1990, 80% of mothers with pre-school age
children wi II be in the workforce); and
WHEREAS, all children deserve quality child care; and
WHEREAS, child care services and providers are the major determinants
of chi Id care quality and as such are responsible for our
children's futures. Nevertheless, they represent one of the
most poorly understood and least rewarded of all professions;
and

project, the Bozeman Association for the Education of Young
Children is planning special activities to honor child care
providers and call attention to the importance of quality child
care.
