Voices from the Field

Monique Reynolds
Quality Care for Children – Georgia

"According to the 2000-2010 census, Arkansas had the fifth fastest-growing Hispanic and Latino populations in the United States. CCA's work through the shared resource website is instrumental in providing resources for administrators, educators, and families in the growing Hispanic and Latino communities in Arkansas. The resources provided through this informational hub helps organizations and schools serving Hispanic and Latino families foster positive relationships. Positive Interactions in the workplace and with children and families help with the quality of care for children. We are in the business of quality care for children, and we are so happy to have the expertise and work by CCA for Arkansas families, children, and the workforce.”

“Across states with whom I’ve worked, I’ve witnessed the collective impact that the ECE Shared Resources platform can have when it is at the core of state and local shared services strategies. Whether the platform is used alone or paired with deeper second level services, it helps strengthen not just provider operations but also the work of technical assistance specialists utilizing resources within the site to meet each provider's needs.”

“Before I joined the network, I was very stressed out from all the stress of the pandemic. I wondered if I should continue with providing care. The shared resources platform made me realize I still love this job and made me feel like a professional again.”

“Our providers rave about the materials they have found on OK Shared Services – our state’s ECE shared services platform. The platform has a myriad of resources – so there is something for everyone – and it addresses all kinds of business needs. We regularly promote the Teledoc program because so many of our facilities do not provide benefits to their employees. Investing in the Shared Services program was one of the most cost effective and beneficial programs we could ever make available to our state’s child care providers.”
