Child Care Connections, a network and support, learning community, for Muskegon County home-based childcare providers was established in 2015. Monthly meetings are held at the United Way and include dinner, a quality training, books and items to support the training. Items to extend the learning for the children were also distributed. This Family Child Care Network program is in partnership with Arbor Circle and Great Start to Quality Western Resource Center, funding is provided by a Child Care Innovation grant. Kathy Sayles, United Way Childcare Development Coordinator and GSQ Kelly Stafford facilitate these monthly meetings
