On March 19, 2009, Sue Russell, president of Child Care Services Association, testified at the House Education and Labor Committee’s Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education Subcommittee Hearing on Improving Early Childhood Development Policies and Practices. Ms. Russell highlighted the need to provide early care and education professionals with support services that will allow them to increase their education and compensation. She profiled two of CCSA’s highly successful projects that address these issues, T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® and Child Care WAGE$®.
