Ater several months of research and over 700 points of stakeholder engagement, the Watauga County Childcare Study) is complete.On this week's Mind Your Business*, *we breakdown the numbers that relate to the key county demographics and trends that fuel the need for early childhood and afterschool care in Watauga County. We'll then get further context on the numbers from Cyndi Dancy, Founder & Principal of Dancy Research, which is the firm that conducted this important study. Hear about trends, updated information on gaps in childcare, how many workers would return to the workforce if capacity and affordability are addressed, and how the community can move forward with solutions that will have a positive impact on this key community resource.***Mind Your Business ***is a weekly production of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.
