United Way invests in 5-star childcare centers that provide low-cost, high-quality services.

Following Labour's manifesto launch this morning, we welcome their commitment to wraparound childcare by delivering free breakfast clubs in primary schools.    We are pleased that Labour are focusing on wraparound care, and as the leading provider of school-aged childcare, we have seen first-hand how breakfast clubs significantly enhance school attendance rates.   Our data shows that students attending our breakfast clubs are over 90% more likely to attend school consistently compared to those who do not, demonstrating a substantial positive impact on attendance and reducing the likelihood of dropout.   The enrichment and activity programming within these clubs is crucial, with research linking active engagement to improved academic achievement, which in turn positively influences school completion rates and educational attainment.   We look forward to working with the next government to show them best practices in school-aged childcare and provide better outcomes for children, ensuring #EveryChildEveryOpportunity

📅 A Day Without Childcare: Reflecting on Its Impact 📅 Today, we observe "A Day Without Childcare," a day dedicated to highlighting the vital role that childcare providers play in our communities. Thank you, Children's Advocacy Alliance, for hosting the important discussion today and for your continuous efforts in championing the needs of children in Nevada. 👶 Childcare is essential: It allows parents to work, pursue education, and contribute to the economy, knowing their children are in a safe and nurturing environment. 💼 Economic impact: Without reliable childcare, many parents face difficult choices that affect their careers and financial stability. This has a ripple effect on businesses and the economy as a whole. 🌱 Child development: Quality childcare provides a foundation for early learning and development, preparing children for success in school and life. 🙌 Support for providers: Childcare providers are unsung heroes. They deserve recognition, support, and fair compensation for their crucial work. On this day, let’s acknowledge the importance of childcare and advocate for policies that support families and childcare providers. Together, we can ensure that every child has access to the care and early education they deserve. #DayWithoutChildcare #EarlyChildhoodEducation #SupportChildcareProviders #CommunityImpact #Leadership
