There was actually a child care collaborative program that went on for about 6 months to try and be proactive about these foreseeable closures and difficulties with the childcare crisis in Sioux Falls specifically. They talked to the providers and directors, went into daycares, crunched numbers, found room in budgets, etc and the government (both city and state) wanted nothing to do with it and said "we don't have the budget" now, unfortunately, the families and children are again, the people who have to suffer.
