Through strategic planning and coordination with the Municipality of Anchorage Child Care Licensing, the center became approved to provide short-term, drop-in child care for families using job center services. This milestone in thread’s history was supported through generous funding by the State of Alaska Department of Health and Social Services Division of Public Assistance.
