A virtual town hall on child care by the United Way of Door County looked at a new option for families while also showing that many challenges remain.  The meeting focused on the Wisconsin Shares Child Care Subsidy program.  Cori McFarland, Deputy Director of the Door County Department of Health and Human Services, believes the shares program offers another option to local families, though many are unaware of it.
 

One obstacle to making the Wisconsin Share program work in Door County is the lack of daycare facilities.  McFarland says the county is looking at attracting non-traditional care providers.
