About 75 people attended this year’s annual Child Watch Tour that emphasized the importance of a child’s first 2000 days — the length of time between when a child is born and enrolls in kindergarten. Currently, 1,068 children are on the waiting list for subsidized child care in Buncombe County. (photo by Caitlin Byrd)
