(The Center Square) – State Sen. Brian Strickland said he hopes the Legislature will make “substantial policy moves in the coming years” to address child care issues for Georgia families.
Stickland, a Republican, is chairman of the Senate Study Committee on Access to Affordable Childcare that met Monday to hear from various child care leaders, nonprofit associations, and education partners on the different ways that child care can be made more affordable and accessible throughout the state.
“Hopefully, what we are doing and what we have done, has started a very serious conversation about this with our friends up here at the state capital,” Strickland said. “We all know how important this is for our state, along with the families in our state and for our workers in our state.”
