Child Care: A Key Piece in the Rural Economic Development Puzzle
Communities across Minnesota are looking at child care as an important strategy in rural economic development. A robust supply of child care directly impacts your regional economy, supports employment and ensures that young children enter kindergarten prepared to learn.
Please join Heidi Hagel-Braid and Jeff Andrews from First Children's Finance as they provide information and strategies that community leaders can use to stabilize and grow the supply of child care in rural communities. You'll learn about success stories from across the state and get practical solutions to implement in your own community. You'll gain an understanding of the types of child care programs that are the right size for your community, and ideas of how you can contribute to the viability of community-based child care.
This event is perfect for economic development professionals, city and county administrators, school district leadership and community leaders who are committed to building vibrant rural communities.
