Childcare is a sixty billion dollar industry that is projected to grow to over eighty billion by the end of the decade. However, there is a huge issue with the staffing pipeline.

A possible tool to assist in this process may be the growth of in-school programs, utilizing school staff and an intense character education program.

Join us in speaking with Todd Lassiter who tells us more about the industry as a whole and the Character Club program.

Join us for an educational and enjoyable conversation with North Carolina State Representative Cecil Brockman, a true Charter champion.

Rep. Brockman is a living example of a “policy maker” and not a “politician”. A rare commodity at the local, state and federal level that has the capability to reach across the aisle and do what is best for his constituents.

Listen how he eloquently defines parental choice, as a movement that is:
1) Advancing
2) Continuing steadily by increments
3) Open to or favoring new ideas, policies, or methods; which is in fact the literal definition of "Progressive."
