Wheels on the Bus
AWB embarked on a new bus tour in August to raise awareness about the shortage of affordable and accessible child care . The neon green bus visited 10 child care providers around the state and brought together community leaders for a series of roundtable discussions .
Child care has emerged as a major issue in Washington and across the country , and AWB is helping drive the discussion toward a solution .
“ We can ’ t grow businesses , we can ’ t grow jobs if our families can ’ t place their children in affordable , accessible child care .”
