Planting the SEEDS for a Brighter Future
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 the necessary pre-design work for a new child care center to ensure efficiency, maximize capacity and ensure stability of the center for children, parents, businesses and the community. Important hallmarks of the center are:
High-Quality Care and Education
Expanded Operational Hours
to accommodate the 12-hour day-shift
Higher Staff Wages for Recruitment/Retention
The Project
​
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.
