ANN ARBOR (WXYZ) â My only concern is where are we going to find the staff? said Waymond Hayes, director of Early Learning and Youth Development for Focus Hope, when talking about President Biden s reported plan to make preschool for 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds free.
Hayes points to a shortage of teachers and the need to increase wages to make any plan a success.
Jamie Healy, director at the Freedom Child Care Center in Ann Arbor, would like to see a way to offer benefits and a retirement plan.
