How Richmond Raised the Standard For Mixed Delivery Care
The tour makes a virtual stop in Richmond, where host Gloria Riviera learns how the community has built a public-private partnership to help subsidize a mixed-delivery model of care that helps families find programs tailored to their specific needs. This week we meet Cheryl Morman, a family child care provider and president of the Virginia Alliance for Family Child Care Association; J David Young, executive director of FRIENDS Association for Children; and Jodi Roberts, the director of early childhood development at Thrive Birth to Five. Find out how this partnership improved outcomes for children, increased access for disadvantaged populations, and found unique ways to help improve educator pay. Plus, we hear about the important role Thrive Birth to Five plays in making these programs work. Show Notes Presented by Neighborhood Villages.
