Find Childcare Providers in Washington County
Access to childcare is increasingly important across the United States and is a key focus for the state of Minnesota and the Greater Minneapolis region. The state government has set a goal to increase childcare access by 20% by 2027. When parents have access to trusted childcare providers, they can enter the workforce with confidence, knowing their children are safe.
Increasing child care access specifically helps women participate in the East Metro MSP workforce, as moms are more likely to stay home if they cannot find a childcare provider or cannot afford one.
In the past decade, the Minneapolis-St. Paul region has increased the number of child care providers by 36%, adding 4,641 child care service positions. The work in Washington County isn’t done, and several organizations, private companies, and government departments are working to increase access for families. Together, we can meet the needs of parents across the region while creating positive learning environments for the youngest Minnesota residents.
