Child Care Position

Recognizing the need for quality childcare in Westford, the League of Women Voters of Westford supports:

Equal accesses to child care alternatives for all ages.
School policies that encourage child care alternatives through:
A school-wide transportation system that accommodates after-school care and activities in a responsible, flexible, and efficient manner.
Use of school facilities for self-sustaining after-school programs.
Coordinated scheduling of after-school activities to promote accessibility
Zoning which allows for family daycare providers and childcare centers in accessible and safe areas.
