Over the past 32 years, Miriam Cunningham has helped to raise “a lot” of children. The Round Lake resident has operated a day care in her home and had over 120 children since she began. “I have the second generation for some of them,” she said with a smile, as she’s providing day care for children of some of her early day care children.
