Despite these challenges, he remains committed to addressing the region’s childcare shortage.The need for quality early education has become increasingly urgent. Collier County lost 15 childcare centers between 2020 and 2022, eliminating more than 700 child care slots.

Additionally, only 49% of Florida kindergarteners were deemed "Ready for Kindergarten" in recent assessments, further highlighting the need for early learning programs.As Naples shifts from a retiree haven to a more family-friendly community, dual-income households are becoming the norm, increasing the necessity for accessible childcare. Robertson’s initiative aims to meet this demand and provide local families with a much-needed solution.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.naplespress.com/2025/02/28/childcare-shortage-sparks-new-solutions/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=naples-press-how-childrens-lighthouse-is-addressing-the-childcare-shortage-in-naples-florida-2728794" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;For more information on franchising with Children’s Lighthouse, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/childrens-lighthouse">https://1851franchise.com/childrens-lighthouse</a>.&nbsp;
