Georgia is often touted as the best state to do business. How would you ensure that it is also the best place to raise young children?
"While Georgia is celebrated as the best state to do business, we must also prioritize making it the best place to raise young children. To achieve this, we need to invest in comprehensive early childhood programs that support families and foster healthy development from birth. Research shows that the first years of life are critical for brain development, with over 1 million new neural connections forming every second. These early experiences shape the foundation for learning, behavior, and health, which directly impacts future success.
Expanding access to quality child care is essential. Many parents in Georgia face significant barriers to finding affordable and reliable child care, leading to lost income and reduced workforce participation. By improving child care options, we not only support working parents but also contribute to a stronger, more resilient economy. Early interventions, such as quality child care and early education, provide children with the stable, nurturing environments they need to thrive, laying the groundwork for lifelong success.
To ensure Georgia is the best place to raise young children, we must also address the broader needs of families by expanding healthcare access, parental leave, and family-friendly policies that reduce stress and promote well-being. When we invest in our children and their families, we create a state where businesses thrive alongside strong, healthy communities—making Georgia a leader not just in business, but in raising the next generation."
