Childcare Leadership Group (CLG) Inquiry Form
“I learned that if something needs to be changed, we can change it. At first, as an immigrant, I thought I should be silent, but now I know that we should talk about what needs to be changed. Through advocacy, we learned we can work for change. Felt better, I’m a piece of this community”
