(Marquette County, MI) - The Marquette County Childcare Coalition is proposing an initiative that engages potential home-based childcare providers to participate in a business startup and growth accelerator program to meet the current and future demand for affordable quality childcare in the county. The proposal would link existing resources at Marquette-Alger RESA, and Great Start to Quality with Lake Superior Community Partnership. The Community Foundation of Marquette County put together the group at the beginning of the year. It includes representatives from the community, local government, and nonprofit and economic development organizations.
The Community Foundation also initiated the Marquette County Childcare Endowment Fund to provide long-term support for quality childcare programs in the county.
To learn more about the Fund, contact the Community Foundation at (906) 226-7666 or at info@cfofmc.org.
