Planting the SEEDS for a Brighter Future

High-Quality Care and Education

Expanded Operational Hours

Higher Staff Wages for Recruitment/Retention

Webster County has experienced a decline in child care for over a decade, a problem that was compounded by the pandemic. When parents are unable to find quality care for their children, they are forced to stay home, forgo additional income, work reduced hours or leave the community.

The lack of child care has a domino effect. Parents are passing up promotions, employees miss work and businesses are unable to attract new employees to the community or retain employees that have or about to have children.

Linking Families and Communities has completed plans for Sprouts Early Education and Development School (SEEDS) to ensure efficiency, maximize capacity and ensure stability of the center for children, parents, businesses and the community. The school will provide quality care and education for 103 children age 6 weeks to 12 years annually, improving child outcomes and improving the workforce of today and tomorrow.

A project of this magnitude cannot be completed alone. We invite you to take part in the Planting the SEEDS for a Brighter Future campaign to build a brighter for our children and our community.

Its time to Plant the SEEDS for A Brighter Future. With the support of our friends, businesses and grant funding, we will reach our goal and increase access to quality child care in the community.
