Isaiah understands Pittsburg’s childcare challenges firsthand. He and his wife, Molly, run a licensed daycare out of their home. While she navigated the Crawford County Health Department’s licensing bureaucracy successfully, the process was far from simple.

Isaiah supports:

• Streamlining Licensing: Work with the county to simplify the licensing process for qualified providers, making it easier to open childcare while keeping safety standards strong.
  
  

• Reducing Costs for Providers: Lower city property taxes for licensed in-home childcare providers to make childcare more affordable and expand options for families.
  
  

To avoid any conflict of interest, Isaiah’s household would not be eligible under this policy, but he will fight to make it a reality for others
