Rccip Town Hall Brainstorms Solutions to Baraga County Child Care Scarcity

Parents in Michigan's Baraga County can expect to shell out $720 a month for child care, or $810 a month for infant/toddler care, according to data reviewed Friday by First Children's Finance.

"Parents who might be above that income don't really have a ton of options other than a few centers that might have some openings or none at all," says a quality improvement specialist with the Upper Peninsula Resource Center.

"We're lacking some child care here in the area," she tells WLUC.

First Children's Finance says the county has only five licensed child care centers.

Ideas presented at a town hall meeting last week included re-opening closed child care centers and educating the community about the importance of quality child care.

"I'm looking for people that are passionate about this issue," says the director of the Copper Country Great Start Collaborative.

"That are willing to put in a little hard work, whether they want to open a child care, or they just want to help us educate the community about the need and find other people that want to open a child care."
