George Bush On Child Care

07/29/2008

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear.
Rosa Parks

In the long primary campaign in the United States, Presidential candidates from either party seldom raised the issue of early childhood education. For that reason, I found this message from President George Bush to the attendees of the 19th Annual General Services Administration Child Care Conference, quite interesting...

"Children are a precious gift, and we have a duty to provide them with the support and skills they need to become happy and successful adults. For nearly 20 years, this conference has fostered networking and discussion to help ensure the best possible care for America's youth. By offering valuable service to working parents, child care providers help prepare our children to meet life's challenges and realize their full potential."
