Today we’re talking about early childhood in Vermont and beyond. And it’s Mother’s Day, so we want to give a shout out to all the mothers out there working nonstop to love and nurture our children. This past Friday, too, was Provider Appreciation Day--- where we, like Mother’s Day, took ONE official DAY to say thank-you to our childcare providers who work tirelessly, often without livable wages, to care for our children. Our two guests on the show, Kay Curtis and Billie Slade, are both mothers and providers and we’re looking forward to talking with them today.
