New Tool for Child Care/Early Ed Programs

A new online search tool for Minnesota parents trying to find quality child care and/or early education programs was launched today.  Minnesota Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson says the ParentAware

website is beneficial to children, parents and providers.  She says the online search tool will help parents find quality early education programs that have been rated.

The upgraded online search tool enables parents to search for programs by location, schedule, education quality and types of care.

Jesson says while more Minnesota children are prepared for kindergarten than ever before, there are still too many who are not ready. She says quality care and education can help close the gap.
