College can subsidize local caregivers comparable to the subsidy it now provides College Child Development Center on Prescott Campus; access is everything

Yavapai Community College has a wonderful child care program at the Dell Web Family Enrichment Center on the Prescott Campus.  As a part of that program, students and staff receive subsidized (discounted) charges for child care from Yavapai College.  The discounts are shown on the chart below, which was copied directly from the College web site.

Simple fairness should compel the College to establish comparable subsidized child care programs using independent care givers on the east side of the County.  By doing so, the College would significantly enhance the opportunities for families in Sedona and the entire Verde Valley of obtaining post-secondary education. It would also be a real help to staff.
