We are still planning for the daycare to open; however, the date is to be determined. Unfortunately, we currently lack enough applicants to adequately open our doors. We are rewriting our employee job descriptions. We are also looking to offer more benefits for our employees such as free or discounted daycare. We appreciate all of the community support. This endeavor has been a large undertaking in a short amount of time. It is our mission to provide high quality childcare services to the children of our community. Please contact Kylie Randall, Molly Lloyd, Nicole Gardner, or Jen Zellers with any questions or concerns.
