Dear Senator,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to an essential aspect of childcare that often goes unnoticed but plays a significant role in the well-being of our communities: Friends, Family, and Neighbors (FFN) caregivers. As a legislator committed to the betterment of our community, I believe your support and advocacy are crucial in recognizing and supporting the invaluable contributions of FFN caregivers.

FFN caregivers are the unsung heroes of childcare, providing a nurturing and safe environment for children while parents work or pursue education. They are trusted friends, family members, and neighbors who selflessly devote their time and energy to caring for our children, helping families thrive and communities' flourish.

Numerous studies and reports have highlighted the positive impact of FFN care on early childhood development and family well-being. Families who choose FFN care often benefit from a more flexible and familiar childcare setting, which enhances their work-life balance and economic opportunities. Moreover, children in FFN care experience a loving and supportive environment that fosters their cognitive, emotional, and social development.

Recognizing the importance of FFN caregivers in our childcare ecosystem, I kindly request your support in the following ways:

1.Inclusive Policy Discussions: As a respected legislator, your influence in childcare policy discussions is invaluable. I urge you to champion policies that recognize and include FFN caregivers as integral components of our childcare system. By acknowledging their vital role, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all families.

2.Advocacy for FFN Care: Your advocacy for FFN caregivers will amplify their voices and shed light on their significant contributions to our community. By publicly acknowledging and supporting FFN caregivers, we can inspire greater appreciation and respect for the valuable service they provide.

3.Policy Resources for FFN Caregivers: Providing FFN caregivers with access to professional development resources will empower them to enhance the quality of their care and support the children they serve more effectively. Your support in securing funding for such resources will strengthen our childcare infrastructure.

4.Building a Stronger Childcare Ecosystem: By advocating for the recognition and support of FFN caregivers, we can create a more diverse and robust childcare ecosystem that caters to the unique needs of our families. Embracing FFN care as a valuable childcare option will contribute to a thriving and inclusive community.

Your endorsement and leadership in supporting FFN caregivers can make a lasting impact on the well-being of families and children in Colorado I invite you to join our campaign, "Trust Families, Trust FFN," as we work towards a childcare system that values and supports the diverse choices families make. Thank you for your time and consideration.
