Novato Woman Travels to Nation’s Capitol to Advocate for Quality Child care
In March, Melinda McCall of Novato represented area parents at the
National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral
Agencies’ (NACCRRA) national policy symposium in Washington, D.C.
She learned about national child care issues and met with members of
Congress on Capitol Hill to advocate for more affordable, high-quality
child care for Novato parents.
McCall, the mother of children who are now 8, 10 and 14, faced
difficulties finding affordable, quality child care when her children were
young. As a teen mother, finding employment that enabled her to
provide for herself and her children was difficult.
