Johnson County approves funding for child care providers

Commissioner Fast said "The county has earmarked $2 million to develop a child care business training center."

"The center will focus on helping child care providers build a sustainable, profitable business in an effort to supply additional childcare options in a growing community. The Commission is allocating federal funds to pay for licensing, business development, and training. The lack of access to affordable child care is the biggest barrier to growing workforce shortages.”.
