Join other Klickitat County business professionals at this special forum on Workforce Childcare Needs. Guest speakers and committee members will share what they have learned about the affect the childcare crisis is having in our community. Information will be provided on KCCC's work supporting the licensing of new childcare providers in the area.

The Klickitat County Childcare Committee (KCCC) is back in action after receiving grants totaling $95,000 from the Washington Department of Commerce and Southwest Accountable Community of Health (SWACH). The new funding will allow the group to expand county-wide while maintaining efforts in the Goldendale community. KCCC has also added a Spanish-speaking coordinator to assist applicants seeking to start childcare centers or home-based programs.

KCCC is on a mission to increase the number of childcare businesses throughout the county, where there is a dire need for providers.
