THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
LPEDA has an ongoing "Business of Child Care" initiative, with Phase One funded by $12,000 from Compeer Financial and MN Power and work moving forward, and plans to pursue a DEED grant and child care pods. Phase Two is still to be determined, and the group continues child care work sessions with county commissioners and the city council. Grant writers, child care facility designers, and program consultants can engage around defining Phase Two, structuring DEED applications, and planning new pod facilities or expansions.
LPEDA also references Initiative Foundation Child Care Solutions grants and allocations for Trinity Learning Center’s infant care room and LPGE work-based learning certification, indicating an ongoing multi-partner child care effort.
