Last Week: Panel Presentation on Innovative Child Care Solutions
Like communities across the country, the lack of child care has been such a challenge for both parents who want to work and employers who want to hire them. The La Crosse area is unique because local thought-leaders have implemented creative solutions that are increasing child care availability. A panel of representatives from The Parenting Place, VARC and La Crosse County Human Services will share their innovative approaches that are addressing the need for accessible child care in La Crosse County.
Guests are ALWAYS welcome! RSVP in advance to Niki Pohnl if know you are bringing guests but last minute invites are also welcome!
