Study: Area A ‘Day Care Desert’

There is a dearth of day care options for working families with children in the Rockbridge area. In fact, a recent child care study, undertaken by the Southeast Rural Community Assistance Project Inc. (SERCAP) at the behest of the Rockbridge County Economic Development Department, indicates that our area is a “day care desert,” in comparison with other localities elsewhere in the state, which affects our community adversely and needs immediate attention.
