Cummington Nonprofit Administers Childcare Subsidy Program

It Takes A Village

     A program to help families in the hilltowns of western Massachusetts with the high costs of childcare is now under new management.

    The Cummington-based organization It Takes a Village is the new administrator of the program where low- and moderate-income parents or guardians can obtain subsidies to help cover their childcare expenses.

   WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Mollie Hartford, Co-Executive Director of It Takes a Village.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
