Riley asks about provider capacity for expansion
Riley asks if there are enough qualified family child care providers and CBOs to support expansion from 2,000 to 12,000. Phillips says they are working with networks and feel confident there is capacity.
Do we currently have enough qualified family child care providers and community-based organizations to support an expansion from 2,000 to 12,000?
So we are working with our family child care networks and working with them to figure out what...
Providers are in their network, what their ability is to expand to care for more children.
So those are active conversations we're having.
And as we have more details in terms of where the seats will be needed, what the family need is, but we do feel confident that in the community, there are providers and seats that we're able to accommodate the expansion.
Okay.
