Expanding Access to Child Care in Rural Michigan
In 2018, Kristin Andrews identified a shortage of childcare in her community of Kalkaska, which led to her opening the education-based Blue Fish Early Learning Center. When the business was getting started, Kristin worked with the Michigan SBDC to develop a business and financial plan, but the partnership didn't end there. Soon after COVID-19, the Michigan SBDC helped Kristin secure grants & loans to keep the business running, which has since more than doubled the number of students enrolled!

Children's Corner, A Small Childcare Business, Is Growing Instead Of Shrinking During COVID-19.
When the pandemic began, families removed their kids from daycare, including Children's Corner in rural West Central Minnesota. The SBDC helped Sue TenEyck-Stafki apply for loans and re-imagine her market. She saw an emerging segment and offered essential workers a safe childcare environment so they could remain on their jobs. She established new practices, serving no more than ten children in a space, wearing masks, and maintaining social distancing. The kids and the business are growing.
