106-9 Kicks Country #1 For New Country
This week UCDD’s Megan Choate and Rosa Smith discuss child care needs and issues
Unless you’re the parent of a small child, or work in the industry, you may not realize just how severe the lack of daycare is, not only here in the Upper Cumberland, but around America. During the past two years, and estimated 16 thousand childcare programs across the country have closed. The industry has experienced a 9% decline in the number of licensed providers. We go inside the issues locally with Megan Choate, Director of Lending and Economic Development for the Upper Cumberland Development District, and Rosa Smith, an Economic Development Planner at UCDD.
Today In The Upper Cumberland airs each weekend as a way to introduce you to interesting people and subjects of interest to our community. Catch the show each Saturday morning at 6am on Rock 93-7, at 7am on 106-9 Kicks Country, at 8am on 93-3 The Dawg, Lite Rock 95.9, and 96-9 Highway 111 Country, and at 9am on 101.9/AM 920 WLIV.
