The small town of Pipestone, Minn., has been awarded $15,000 from a state program designed to help small towns compete in the modern world of child care, the St.
Paul Pioneer Press reports.
"It's not a cash grant, but it's valued at about $15,000," Justin Schroyer, director of the city's Economic Development Authority, told the Pipestone City Council last week.
The grant from First Children's Finance will be used to form a core team of 20 people, including childcare providers, parents, school district representatives, city and county officials, Child Care Aware representatives, representatives of the Southwestern Minnesota Opportunity Council, representatives of Southwest Health and Human Services, and others.
The core team will work with First Children's Finance to identify solutions to childcare issues in Pipestone.
Possible outcomes for the community could include new childcare centers and family childcare, expansion of existing programs, mentorship programs, provider appreciation and support, locations for family childcare outside of a home setting, community and business partnerships, and raising awareness about the childcare need, according to First Children's Finance.
There will be no cost to the city of Pipestone or the EDA to participate in the program because it is funded by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and philanthropic partners
