PROJECTS
Project 1: Truth in Day Care – A Global Mission
​
Truth in Day Care is a worldwide movement advocating for transparency, safety, and accountability in child care. As former Mrs. Georgia International 2016, Jackie has long championed child advocacy and continues to push for stronger policies and reforms. Her mission is clear—ensure every child, everywhere, is safe, nurtured, and protected.
Project 2: The Blue
Heart Medal
​
The Blue Heart Medal, created by Jacqueline Boatwright in honor of her son, Anthony DeJuan Boatwright, recognizes the bravery and sacrifice of children impacted by tragedy in child care. Symbolizing both loss and love, this medal honors the little soldiers who have suffered severe injury or lost their lives simply being a child. Modeled after the Purple Heart, it serves as a powerful reminder of the need to protect and advocate for every child in care.
Project 3: Truth in Day Care
Federal Legislation
​
The fight isn’t over! We are continuing the work already started in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to make Truth in Day Care a federal law. This legislation is a crucial step toward ensuring transparency, accountability, and safety in child care facilities nationwide—because every child deserves protection, and every parent deserves peace of mind.
Project 4: Raising the
Standards of Child Care
​
Children are our greatest treasure, and their safety and well-being should be a priority, not an option. The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Foundation (ADBF) is committed to raising the standards of child care by advocating for stricter regulations, higher safety measures, and greater accountability in child care centers. Every child deserves quality care, protection, and a nurturing environment—because nothing is more valuable than their future.
Project 5: Educating & Certifying
Safe Child Care Centers
​
The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Foundation (ADBF) is dedicated to educating and assisting child care centers in creating the safest environments for the children entrusted to their care. Through training, resources, and advocacy, we help centers meet higher safety standards. Facilities that demonstrate excellence in child protection and care are awarded the ADBF Certification, a mark of trust, quality, and commitment to children's well-being.
