Norcross to Hold Child Care Roundtable

CHERRY HILL, NJ – On Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) – a member of the House Committee on Education and Labor’s Subcommittee on Higher Education & Workforce Investment – will hold a roundtable discussion with representatives from Camden County College (CCC), including President Don Borden, student parents and faculty from CCC’s child care facility – Kiddie Junction. The discussion will focus on child care options for student-parents – specifically Congressman Norcross’ action in Congress to increase resources for student-parents.

“Today, many student-parents are forced to choose work over their education because they cannot find quality, affordable child care,” said Congressman Norcross. “As a young, single father working my first full-time job, I found myself facing the same struggle. Since then, I have fought to ensure that student-parents won’t face the same obstacles that I did and will have access to affordable, quality child care so that they and their children are afforded the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.”
