Summary
On this episode of So Saint Paul, we hear from childcare advocates Celeste Finn, Leslie Rumsey, and Angela Clair who emphasize the challenges faced in sustaining childcare centers, including high costs and the difficulty of paying fair wages to staff while maintaining quality standards. Minnesota's Day without Childcare aims to raise awareness about the critical need for affordable childcare and the importance of high-quality early education. On March 3, at Wilder (911 Lafond Ave, St. Paul), from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, parents, teachers, and advocates will gather to learn more and advocate for better policies. This event seeks to influence legislators and secure better funding and policies to support families, educators, and children. More information can be found at kidscountonus.com
