October 21, 2021 - The Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Child Care Licensing Bureau (CCLB), announced today that they will be hosting Access Fairs in Detroit on October 23, 2021 and November 6, 2021. These fairs can help speed up the licensing process in order to meet Michigan's need for child care. Fairs will also have free childcare onsite and the Wayne Health Mobile Unit will be available to provide COVID-19 vaccinations.
During the pandemic, it has become more evident that Michiganders need access to safe, quality and affordable child care. Many families have had to leave the workforce because they were unable to find care for their kids which has added pressure to Michigan's economic recovery.
"Child care providers play such an important role in supporting children, families, and our community. These fairs will make it easier than ever for new providers to start their business. We'll be on site with answers to all of your questions and a few freebies to get you started," said CCLB Director, Emily Laidlaw. "Having access to affordable, quality child care is important for working families in our state. Parents need to have access to child care so they may go to their work and be comfortable knowing their child is being cared for in a safe, enriching and quality environment."
