What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          High-quality early care and education is an economic development issue for our state because working parents need a safe, nurturing, enriching place for their children to go while they do their jobs. Businesses need working parents to be able to show up reliably, which requires reliable child care. Our economic future depends on a well-educated skilled workforce.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          Children only get one chance to learn the fundamentals -- how to problem solve, how to cooperate with others, how to explore, and how to think critically -- and it starts at birth. The Y is working to provide high-quality early care and education to children to support improved reading and math skills and a higher likelihood of participants graduating from high school.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           12 months
