The Green Isle Economic Development Authority (EDA) is working to address the Sibley County child care shortage


Data provided by First Children’s Finance shows that Sibley County has a child care gap of 379 slots.  An article in Prairie Business Magazine by Editor Kris Bevell states that “if employees can’t find quality care for their children, they won’t work for you.  They won’t move to our community, or they’ll be forced to move away, or they might have to consider quitting their job to stay home with their children because they have no other option.”


The Green Isle EDA is considering offering 8 to 15 child care slots for children age birth to 2 years, but it would like to know the demand for child care before pursuing this project.
