My loan is for the early childhood education. I finished my
master this year in child development and have a loan from
wells fargo bank.There are several programs for school teachers
for loan forgiveness but I did not find any particular for
child care .Why can't state have the same opportrunity for
preschool loans because preschool build the foundations for the
children to achieve success in their career.
