Re: future of child care

I can't help but wonder how long it will be before the school
systems do take on the infant/toddler care. I have heard of it
happening however I don't know exactly where. I have heard that
if schools have prek they can count those kids towards enrollment
and it will help with funding. If that's the case it could be
beneficial to them to take on as many kids as they can.

I've already been burned by Head Start, just wondering how soon I
need to look for a new career all together.
