    Debbie, how are you? 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.
