Le Mars faces a dire situation
Child care needs topple 400 mark
By Kim Fickett, Editor
LE MARS — Being a parent is no easy task. Concerns consume them daily from raising their children with the right values, to keeping them safe and healthy, to nurturing them to become a valuable citizen in their community. And when their children aren’t with them they want to make sure they are being adequately cared for by people who carry the same beliefs they do.
Now that concern of finding adequate child care in the Le Mars community, has become one at the forefront of parents’ minds more than ever before.
According to a recent survey completed by the Le Mars Business Initiative Corporation (LBIC), Le Mars is facing a crossroads of providing an adequate number of affordable, safe and reliable daycare providers to meet the demands facing the community of over 10,000 residents.
