Over the past six months, a Daycare Steering Committee has
formed to address the need for a Community Daycare facility in
Mount Pulaski.
The committee worked with current daycare providers such as
Debby Aylesworth, Bobbie Taylor, and Michelle Hagenbuch to
create plans for a Community Daycare facility. This new facility
would benefit these existing businesses by moving their service
to a shared facility and out of their homes.
The committee has also been working with Megan Jones and Ashley
Burgaurd on determining the need for before and after school
programming for school-aged children.
The Daycare Steering Committee is made up of about 12
hard-working members of the Mount Pulaski community. These
caring individuals are
coming together to create a solution for the community's needs.
Members have also been in contact with the Lincoln Area YMCA to
discuss the possibility of a partnership between the YMCA and
the community to facilitate a Community Daycare facility in
Mount Pulaski.
"This is an exciting development in the planning process, and it brings us
to the point where we need to get a better idea of the current need for
daycare options of the community," said the committee.
The Daycare Steering Committee has created a short, voluntary survey to get an
idea of families' needs within the community. Please take this voluntary survey
to help in the important step of gathering information on the community's needs.
