She spoke about giving employees equity and elevating their work and how employee ownership can reinvent and reinvigorate the child care industry. It was an honor for Imagine to be a part of this historic summit with our co-panelists The National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), The DC Family Child Care Association, The National Domestic Workers Alliance, Caring Across Generations, and innovators like Bobbie, Moms First, and many more.

We believe that quality child care and education is something that should be readily available to all families. And we know that many businesses agree with us. We have worked alongside hospitals, higher educational institutions, federal agencies, and much more to provide parents and families with care where they are. Our services include full time, part time, and back up care programs for children six weeks to five years old, as well as after school, summer, and vacation programs for school-aged children. https://lnkd.in/eC5kwKyK

As you may know, the Imagine brand and ethos is several decades in the making. From the beginning, Imagine has stood for individualized teaching and learning for our students, support for our Imagine family - our teachers, our staff, our families and our communities - and connection to cultures outside the four walls of our centers.? All of these values stand true and make us who we are. Today, we are letting you know that we will be communicating those values a bit more loudly and differently.? With that, we are excited to introduce our new Imagine logo and website! Visit www.imagineelc.com to learn more about Imagine!
