On Tuesday, March 18, United Way Manitowoc County’s Director of Impact Strategies, Ben Peters, and Lynn Palama, Child Care Development Coordinator at Lakeshore CAP, co-presented to the Lakeshore CAP Human Resource Council on behalf of the Early Childhood Education Support Network (ECESN). Their presentation focused on the challenges working families face due to the shortage of quality, affordable childcare—and how these challenges impact local employers and early childhood educators alike.
With around 25 agency representatives in attendance, the conversation was engaging and affirming. Participants echoed the calls to action outlined in the presentation, reinforcing the urgent need to support families, employers, and childcare providers in building a stronger early childhood education system for our county.
