We’re writing to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Addison Independent for the recent Early Childhood Guide insert. What a helpful and inspiring resource!

The guide not only offers valuable information for families and providers, but also gives voice to the critical importance of childcare in our community. The contributions from local childcare providers are powerful—thoughtful, grounded, and full of clarity about the needs and strengths of this sector.

Strong and healthy childcare is truly the backbone of a thriving community. This guide is a wonderful way to deepen understanding, share resources, and highlight the collective efforts underway in Addison County. It’s work like this that supports the kind of vibrant, welcoming place we all strive for—a place where people can truly live, work, and play.

Congratulations to all involved in producing such a timely and meaningful pullout.
