CLOQUET — Child care providers, employers, parents and other community members will meet at the Cloquet Public Library on Thursday, Aug. 7, for a conversation on the area’s child care system.
Cloquet Community Development said attendees will "talk solutions and explore how we can build a stronger, more reliable child care system."
The “community action planning” will be from 2-3:30 p.m. at the Cloquet Public Library. Stakeholders will discuss the difficulties facing the industry and its impact on the community.
"Child care is essential — but in Cloquet, families are struggling to find and afford it, providers are facing staff shortages and difficulty providing liveable wages, and local businesses are feeling the ripple effects when employees miss work due to lack of care options," stated a release.
"It's a growing challenge that affects us all."
Registration is requested. A virtual option is available upon request to Cloquet Community Development.
