JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — The Learning Lamp wrapped up a round table discussion Tuesday morning.

It was held at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College.

The purpose of the discussion was to address child care needs in the work force.

According to officials, more than a half-million children under the age of 6 are likely to need some type of child care as both parents work away from home.

"We have to have quality child care, and we need to have a workforce that can both prepare for their family, but provide for their community," said Ryan Riley, executive director of the Pennsylvania early Learning Investment Commission.

The Learning Lamp provides tutoring, before and after school programs and many other programs to help kids learn.
