The challenges of the past year only underscored why this work is so urgently needed. From fires to inflation, families and child care providers across Los Angeles felt the strain every day. But alongside that hardship, we witnessed something powerful: resilience, joy, and deep community. People showed up for one another. Care carried us through.
