We are thrilled to announce the construction of our brand-new daycare facility! This state-of-the-art building represents our commitment to meeting the growing childcare needs of our community and surrounding communities while providing the highest quality care and education for our children.
Expanding Our Reach
Our new facility will increase our capacity from 62 to 110 children, allowing us to serve more families in the community. We will have two infant rooms, a toddler room, two year old room, three year old room, four year old room, and a rec room that will serve as our school-age room for afterschool and summer care. We are very excited to offer a summer program for our school-age kids. Currently, there is no program available in our school district for these kids. Having this opportunity will alleviate stress on parents and caregivers during the summer months.
Location and Timeline
Our new center will be located on Parcel P of the South 1/4 of Section 29. Just west of Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn's football field in a newly re-zoned residential agricultural ground. Construction is about to begin, and we eagerly anticipate a grand opening in the Summer/Fall of 2025.
The Team Behind the Build
We are proud to partner with Hellinga Homebuilders, led by Seth Hellinga and Landon Howard, as our contractors for this exciting project. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to excellence, Seth and Landon bring years of experience and a commitment to quality to our project.
Our design and engineering team includes Beck Engineering Inc., who are creating a functional, beautiful space that aligns with our mission to provide safe and nurturing environment for the children of our community. BEI has years of experience and plenty of experience building daycare centers and have had a pleasant experience working with them on this project.
Looking Ahead
We look forward to welcoming even more families into our daycare community and will offer early enrollment as we get closer to our opening date.
