    The Importance of Quality Child Care

    Child care is more than just a home or center where kids are kept safe while parents are away.  Child care is a place where children spend many hours learning, growing, and building an understanding of the world around them. It is important that child care providers can offer our kids fun, diverse, and healthy environments that support their developmental needs.  The WY Quality Counts! Program supports quality care for children at home, in child care, everywhere in between!
