Thank
you for supporting Child Care Resources at our Annual Benefit Luncheon. 
At
least 125,000 children in King County spend time in child care every
week, but much of that care is not as good as it should be.
Surveys by state education officials show that 55 percent of children
entering Washington's kindergarten classes are not completely ready to
enter school. Among low-income children, the percentage is even
higher. Not only are too many youngsters unprepared for school,
but thousands of families in King County struggle to find affordable,
quality child care. High-quality early learning programs set the
foundation for children to learn the skills thy need to succeed in
school.
