“Don’t let October 30th become the date we look back”: parents bring the daycare closure to the PHHS Board
The fight over the YMCA daycare closure reached the county’s Public Health and Human Services Board on October 20, a day before it reached the City Council, and this board heard it as a child care problem, which is its territory: PHHS oversees the county’s child care supports, including the wage enhancement program for licensed providers.
