Actually, I'm one of those parents. I have three children. I prefer to be their primary caregiver. I am their primary caregiver as their mother. I prefer to have my family and friends involved in their care whenever that's possible, but the reality of my life, like many others, is that this is not always possible. So for those families for whom that is not a possibility or a choice, we advocate for a system of early learning and child care.
Furthermore, the vast majority of families choose early learning experiences for their children, regardless of whether they're employed inside or outside the home and regardless of what their other family arrangements are.
