Childcare Workers to Rally for Decent Wages

Better compensation for childcare workers is among the topics we address with two people who should know: Mrs Verna Aggie, executive director of Aggie's Childcare, and Serena Spearman, co-director of the Provider-to-Provider Initiative and director of Little Angels Family Daycare. Exciting events are described: Early Childhood Action Day in Harrisburg on May 12; the Childcare Providers Showcase, June 6; and Worthy Wage Day, June 26, when providers and workers will rally for better pay, not only so they can make a living, but also to improve the quality of early childhood education.
