I&#8217;m very close to the business and my kids are fed Las Manitas for lunch when they are at the daycare. I&#8217;m also one of the volunteer parents responsible for the web site. I understand that we need to develop downtown and I want development downtown. I also want affordable daycare and local businesses to stay downtown. This is the position of most of the parents at Escuelita and the position of the daycare&#8217;s owner. There should be room for compromise and I think that&#8217;s all the council is trying to facilitate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The city council sent a letter to J.W.
