5:14 pm
positive effects of baby property on my coworkers and then tire early child education community. i witnessed my colleagues becoming more motivated to pursue higher education and becoming reinvigorated in their mission to make a difference in children's lives. the increase in wages has brought a renewed sense of purpose and dedication among educators more of her in the aftermath of the dependent. we are witnessing an unprecedented number of children facing challenges, such as speech delays, social emotional difficulties and difficulties in self regulation, the need for hire, highly compensated and highly trained educators in our city is more critical than ever. as someone who has devoted my life and education to understanding the importance of child development. i firmly believe that now is the time to invest in early childhood education and not pull away. thank you. thank you for your comments. let's get the next speaker, please. hello my name is jacqueline slaton and i'm here today as a preschool teacher who has dedicated over

six years of my career to the beautiful community of bayview hunters point. i stand before you not only as an educator but also as a mother of two young children, both under the age of three. devoted my life to child to early childhood education and i hold a bachelor's degree in child development. however after completing my degree, i was forced to leave the bay area due to the unreasonable cost of living. it became impossible for me to sustain a life in the city, working early childhood development as well as i was trying to manage my student loans. i was forced to leave the field completely. but there was a glimmer of hope with the passage of baby prop c. i made the decision to return to the bay area. i am back in san francisco, doing what i love, most teaching and caring for the young children and our community . moreover my own children now attend preschool here. i stand in place for those whose voices go unheard, but who will be directly affected by these changes, there is an urgent need for san francisco to become a truly family friendly city, and there is no better way to
5:16 pm
achieve that than by investing in early childhood education. there is simply no greater return on investment and by prioritizing the educational and developmental needs of our youngest residents. the proposals to take funding away from baby prop. c will have great ramifications on san francisco's already vulnerable communities. by investing in the sector. we are closing the opportunity gap for a black and brown children who are disproportionately affected by poverty and lack access to high quality education and the words of political activist uni shakur . i guarantee that the plant you that the seed you plant in love, no matter how small will grow into a mighty tree of refuge. we are one of future for ourselves, and we must now care enough to create, nurture and secure future for our children. thank you. thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. good afternoon. honorable border supervisors. i am melvin bosley . i was born and raised in
5:17 pm
district 11 lakeview. i am here today to express an unwavering support for keeping baby property and intact. important is the importance of early childhood education. is a cause that is close to my heart, and i firmly believe that in these years of no excuse me, apparently believe that in these years of a child's life is the most crucial and important one issue that deeply concerns me is the division division of funding away from education towards the prison system. it is disheartening to witness resources being allocated in such a manner, especially when we have the opportunities to invest in the future of our children through early childhood education. we must put it into the school to prison pipeline. and redirect. our efforts towards supporting our youth in their formative years. allow me to share a personal story that exemplifies the impact of early childhood education. my son zachary is a six year old child who was both artistic and dyslexic. he is a energetic and active child who faces unique challenges in his learning
5:18 pm
journey, however, with the support and guidance provided by our early childhood education system. he has made tremendous progress. i urge you to consider the power and the potential of early childhood education and transforming the lives of children like zachary. by investing in their development. we can foster an inclusive and supportive environment that nurtures their individual strengths. it is through such programs that i have had the privilege of experiencing a bilingual immersion program at west puerto elementary school, which is how allowed me to become the fierce advocate. i am today. san francisco has a rich history of being a family friendly city. and it is my sincere hope that we can reclaim that reputation by upholding and preserving. baby prop c. we can demonstrate commitment to the well being of our youngest residents, let us provide the necessary resources and support to create an early childhood education system that empowers our children to thrive and succeed. thank you very much. thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. hello, artist supervisor. ah my name is
