Program Targets Care for Children

TRUMAN TRIBUNE: One doesn’t need to be a parent or grandparent to be affected by child care issues. Chances are, someone who is in a workplace or lives in a community will be affected by these issues sooner or later.

Martin County, like many other areas in the state and nationwide, has been dealing with a shortage or lack of child care for young families. But a new program — Prosper MC — was created to help current and potential child care providers.

Prosper is designed to invest in local child care professionals - helping them acquire the tools and skills they need to sustain their passion and business over the long-term.
