AFT Resolution

PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAMS

WHEREAS, working parents in health care facilities and schools sometimes have difficulty maintaining employment due to inadequate provisions for child care; and

WHEREAS, working parents need to be assured that their children will be receiving care which will foster a learning atmosphere, promote interaction with their peers by the nurturing of developmental skills; and

WHEREAS, for parents who want to achieve their professional potential adequate pre-school programs may help the problem of retention and recruitment in health care facilities:

RESOLVED, that the AFT will support legislation which will help establish pre-school programs in the public schools and health care institutions for the children of working parents.

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject. As a result, with the exception of resolutions adopted at our most recent AFT convention, resolutions do not necessarily reflect current AFT policies.
