How exciting to have an opportunity to make an impact in your state. I love your idea of using pictures. I used pictures for a presentation that I did, and then spoke alongside it to explain what they were seeing. There is just something about those precious faces up there on a big screen. Pictures of children in action learning and playing will be your biggest selling point, I think. This is an emotional issue for those of us that are big believers in home care - I don't think you'll have a problem making it emotional. I'm sure you will be giving a heartfelt plea. One point that I think is huge - my children have the same care giver/teacher from birth through kindergarten. That is a huge advantage to a child and it isn't something that happens in centers. And yes - generations - we are like a second family and a great support to the families we serve. Good luck with this.
