Cooperation Station Family Child Care, a trusted provider of childcare services in Grand Marais, regrets to announce a temporary closure effective Monday, August 12, 2024, due to unforeseen staffing challenges.

"The safety and well-being of the children in our care remain our top priority, and we are taking swift action to recruit a new full-time Lead Teacher and part-time Assistant Teacher," said Neva Maxwell, Board Chair.

During this temporary closure, Cooperation Station will communicate directly with affected families to provide updates and assistance. We anticipate reopening once a new Lead Teacher has been hired.

The Cooperation Station Board of Directors will be reposting the Director/Lead Teacher position as well as the Substitute Teacher position within the coming days. Job advertisements will be available on the Cooperation Station Facebook page and Boreal. Interested candidates may contact the Board at [email protected].

Cooperation Station Family Child Care appreciates the understanding and support of the community during this transitional period. Updates regarding the reopening will be shared through our Facebook page.
