"The 2022 Needs Assessment was ambitious" “The 2022 Needs Assessment was ambitious – including parent and workforce surveys, supply and demand analysis at the county and city level, and multiple economic analyses such as articulating a living wage for child care educators – and Brion Economics delivered! Joanne clearly communicated the timeline and budget to keep the project on track. The needs assessment will be invaluable to our community. We would happily work with Joanne and the Brion Economics team again.” ~ Sarah Kinahan, Coordinator, Child Care Partnership Council, San Mateo County Office of Education
