"We shouldn't
think of child care as just a place to deposit our children, a
warehouse," Clinton said during a campaign event in Rochester,
New Hampshire.
Clinton, the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of
state, is seeking the Democratic nomination for president in the
November 2016 elections, her second bid for the party nod.
This time, much of her campaign has focused on promoting liberal
policies aimed at helping low-income and middle-class families,
children and working women.
On Monday, Clinton said she wanted to expand Early Head Start, a
federally funded program that provides education and health
services to low-income families with young children.
Clinton will press for states and communities to guarantee in
the next 10 years that every American 4-year-old can attend a
high-quality preschool, and she will roll out other proposals
related to children in the coming months, an official with her
presidential campaign said in a statement.
