During the time of COVID, the True Cost of Safe Child Care
For Families, For Business, For Kids Co. - Observations by Susan R. Brown, Kids Co. President and CEO

                                           As the nation continues to grapple with the challenge of the coronavirus pandemic, child care
                                           is among to hardest-hit and least supported industries. Parents have long struggled to find
                                           and afford child care that meets their needs; and child care businesses have equally struggled

                                              It’s really fun! I like I get to tell jokes, have fun, tell the
                                              teachers cool things. Also, I like Wednesday, because we
                                              get to do food projects and get to stay outside for recess a

                The America’s Best Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to charitable organizations that meet the highest standards of public accountability,
                program efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Applicant charities must provide evidence of their program activities and demonstrate the benefit
                of their services. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the
                most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000 or 5
                percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal. Kids Co. is one.
