Current Goals
Goal:
Provide Educational Resources for Background Checks
We aim to equip families with clear, state-specific and federal-level guidance on how to conduct thorough background checks when hiring in-home childcare providers. Our educational materials ensure parents have the knowledge and tools needed to safeguard their children.
Goal:
Offer Scholarships for Background Check Costs
Recognizing that financial barriers shouldn't compromise child safety, we are working to establish scholarships to assist families who may not have the resources to afford background checks. Our goal is to make these essential safety measures accessible to all.
Goal:
Partner with Companies to Provide Nanny Cameras
One of our key goals is to partner with reputable camera companies to offer low-cost or free nanny cameras to families who cannot afford them. By establishing these partnerships, we aim to provide parents with an additional layer of security and peace of mind when it comes to monitoring their child’s safety in the home.
Goal:
Advocate for Legislative Change
We are actively advocating for legislative reforms to improve childcare safety. This includes efforts to revise laws on daycare hours and encourage employers to provide more comprehensive childcare support. By influencing policy, we aim to create safer and more supportive environments for families.
