FRANKLIN, Minn. – Between 2012 and 2016, Minnesota has lost nearly 2,000 child care providers, leaving the state with just under 10,600.
By the end of 2015, child care options had all but disappeared from Franklin.
Cedar Mountain Schools Superintendent Robert Tews said, “Had a number of home daycares but they were closing, and especially in Franklin, we found that two of them were going to close in the near future and we already lost one.”
