And just back to your earlier point, and I know I don't need to tell you this because of your years working in a settlement house, but many early childhood education providers, a lot of our members are multi service, so having that kind of streamlining where you have a similar process say for your DYCD or DFTA contract as you have for your early childhood contract would be very helpful.

Yeah absolutely, mean you know settlement houses we like to say, what do say, twinkle to wrinkle, So we're serving all the sector and serving the whole family which means we are working with almost every agency in the city which is makes it hard and I remember having fiscal, each department had a different fiscal person because there were different requirements for each of the agencies.

So again as we're thinking about processes we really need to be thinking about streamlining all of them because it would just make things that much more easy and even processes and for us to hold things hold the other side accountable.
