Safe Haven for Kids

To the editor:

The countdown to the end of the school year is already on in our house. Our kids are excited for all things that summer in northern Michigan brings. While they enjoy the break from school for a few months, as parents, it’s a bittersweet feeling. Summer offers many activities, however, finding childcare yearround is a challenge for many working families.

For us, Leelanau Children’s Center (LCC) has been a safe haven for our kids; a common thought amongst other LCC parents. Like other child care options though, space is limited, and the cost of care remains a sticking point.
