Child care deserts are areas in great need of child care services

2/13/2023

​Half of Minnesota childcare providers are unsure how long they’ll remain in business. Childcare options are drying up and families are struggling to get to work due to the lack of family daycare support. Even with the unpredictability of enrollment, hiring challenges, and inflation, sisters, Ginger Olson and Amy Steiner, opened their fifth Compass Child Care Center over the last year.

Communities from Isanti to Ramsey reap the benefits of a successful childcare business that started from one unified passion of providing quality care. Olson and Steiner, realizing the dire need families were facing, knew their passion could align into a community solution supporting families in finding care for their children and ultimately aiding the community workforce. 

​Compass Child Care opened its first location in Coon Rapids on October 3rd, 2017. When they opened their second location in Blaine on September 3rd, 2019, they were already 50-60% full. Indicating that their business plan was a solution to the immediate needs of their community.

A few months after opening their second location in Blaine, they acquired 2 more locations, one in East Bethel and one in Isanti. Isanti was already an operational business but transitioned to Compass officially in January 2020. Olson and Steiner knew that a company transition would be challenging for families, so they made slow updates and changes to the center, to ease the transition for families. Directors, Sam and Lisa, both worked at other locations before stepping in as management and have created an incredible trust with families at both acquired locations.

Literacy Readiness at Compass Child Care

​Attending preschool can provide your child with a strong foundation for reading readiness. Here are a few ways that preschool can help prepare your child to read:
  1. Language Development: Preschool is an environment where your child can be exposed to a rich language experience. Teachers can use age-appropriate books, songs, and games to enhance your child's language skills. This will allow them to develop vocabulary and learn how to communicate with others, which will benefit them when they begin to read.
  2. Phonemic Awareness: Phonemic awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds in words. Preschool teachers often use games and activities to help children develop this skill, which is an essential component of reading. Through phonemic awareness activities, children learn how to identify and manipulate sounds in words, which is a necessary skill for sounding out words when they begin to read.
  3. Letter Recognition: Preschools often introduce children to the alphabet, teaching them to recognize and identify letters. This will help children when they begin to learn how to read, as they will already be familiar with the letters and their sounds.
  4. Storytelling: Preschool is a great place for children to learn how to tell and listen to stories. Teachers can read aloud to children, and children can also participate in storytelling activities, such as puppet shows or role-playing. This helps children understand the structure of stories and the elements of storytelling, such as character, setting, and plot, which will help them when they begin to read.
Overall, attending preschool can provide your child with a solid foundation for reading readiness by developing their language skills, phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and storytelling abilities.
