On April 15, 2021, more than 250 child care providers, educators and business owners joined Think Babies Michigan for a Child Care Townhall. They shared their ideas with a listening panel on how the federal funds should be spent based on their current and long-term challenges. The panel included leaders and policymakers from the Governor’s Office, Michigan Department of Education and several state representatives.
