It’s officially been ONE FULL YEAR!

One full year of the daycare being open to the public!

And in the course of one year, the daycare has been able to:

•serve over 100 different families!

• give over $6,000 worth of free childcare to local families in need.

•give over $2,000 worth of necessities (diapers/wipes/formula/groceries) to families in need

And lastly

•connect over 20 women to resources through local outreach programs.

And I couldn’t have done any of it without you all here supporting us this whole time. So thank you, thank you, thank you! 

1/11 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on the first anniversary of our daycare’s opening, it’s inspiring to see the tangible difference a community-focused childcare service can make. Over the past year, serving more than 100 families has not only been about providing a safe space for children but also about alleviating the pressures that parents face. Childcare costs can be a significant financial burden, and offering over $6,000 in free services has undoubtedly eased stress for many families. In addition to childcare, supplying necessities such as diapers, wipes, formula, and groceries totaling over $2,000 has addressed basic but critical needs for families facing tough times. It’s heartwarming to witness how these contributions have supported wellbeing and stability at home. Moreover, our efforts to connect over 20 women to local outreach programs highlight the importance of offering holistic support that extends beyond childcare. These resources empower women with education, job training, and health services which can transform lives and foster long-term resilience. Running this daycare has been a labor of love fueled by community support. The milestone celebrations remind us of the crucial role that collective effort plays in building stronger neighborhoods. For anyone considering involvement in similar initiatives, whether volunteering or donating, know that your contribution directly impacts real families — creating a nurturing environment for children and a support system for parents. As we celebrate this one-year mark, the journey continues with renewed dedication to expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Every family helped and every necessity met reaffirms the value of compassionate community service. To all who have supported us: your generosity makes all the difference, and together, we’re fostering a brighter future every day.
