Michigan Child Care Matters Newsletter

Michigan Child Care Matters shares topical information regarding young children who are cared for in licensed child care settings with the child care community, parents and other interested persons. The Consultation and Training Division encourages child care providers to make this publication available to the parents of the children in care or to provide them with our internet address so they may receive their own copy.

If you are interested in obtaining a copy of issues not available online, please contact the Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing, Consultation and Training Division at 517-373-8300.
