I've heard from Minnesotans who have to drive 50 miles to take their kids to daycare. This takes a toll on families—it can be barrier for parents who need to work, or go to school, or who want to be involved in their community.

I’m listening to ideas on how we can make child care more accessible and affordable by doing what I’ve done for a while now: bringing people together and asking them to share what they—and their families—experience every day in communities across Minnesota.

I recently kicked off my childcare access & affordability listening sessions in MN & today these discussions continued in Detroit Lakes. My staff met w/ parents, community leaders, employers, providers to talk challenges families go through when searching for quality child care.pic.twitter.com/yuKW6jEUnY

Thanks to everyone who my staff met with in Detroit Lakes today at Manube Otwa Community Action Partnership, and thanks to The Holmes Center Child Care for letting them take a tour. And I’ll keep pressing for Senate legislation to make child care more accessible and affordable.
