Christian Child Care is having an open house and Usborne Book
Fair this Thursday, Oct. 22, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Parents are
encouraged to sign up to meet with teachers for that evening. The
center also will serve desserts and giving tours to prospective
parents to the center. During the Together for Lincoln Event many
volunteers painted and weeded at the center, and they did a terrific
job. All the volunteers are invited back to celebrate the great job
they did for Christian Child Care!
Christian Child Care has sent in its application for quality
rating stars and will have evaluators coming at the end of the year.
This process will evaluate the performance of teaching staff,
administration and facility. It has taken a year to prepare for this
evaluation and lots of hard work.
Christian Child Care is very proud to be a United Way Agency and
is encouraging everyone to make their donations to this very worthy
cause. If you need information on how to make donations or about
Christian Child Care and the open house, contact Coleen Moore,
director, at 732-5750. Christian Child Care is at 721 Wyatt Ave. in
Lincoln and is an Odd Fellows facility.
