It’s Time For The State To Step Up On Childcare (Hour 1)

May 16, 2025

Todd begins today’s show with a recap of yesterday’s disastrous weather across the state. As the incredible Mr. Rogers always said, “in times of trouble, look for the helpers.” Our state’s first responders always do an incredible job meeting the moment to protect and repair our communities. 

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Brynne and Mike Schieffer of Faith Lutheran Child Care Center in Cameron, Wisconsin. Aside from some hiccups during the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve been running their nonprofit childcare business successfully since 2011. However, our state’s refusal to fund childcare is making it harder and harder for these businesses to stay open. Wisconsin is one of only six states that do not financially support childcare in any capacity.
