Childcare Challenges for Cook County

WTIP is looking at this issue and what is being done to alleviate this stressful situation for young families.

WTIP reached out to Chis Ismel, community development representative with the Minnesota Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board, to learn more about a childcare project in Mountain Iron. We also spoke with Shawntel Gruba, who is the operator of the Iron Tykes childcare facility.
