A New Child Care Center Is Now Open In The Glidden Area
October 7, 2022
In August, parents in the Glidden community were given a new option regarding childcare services. Childcare in rural Iowa has been a problem for a while now, and some blame can be attributed to the COVID-19 Pandemic, which forced many providers to close their doors. In Iowa alone, more than $953 Million is lost annually because of the shortage of childcare facilities. Yesterday (Thursday), organizers and donors to the Lil Wildcat Education Center hosted a ribbon cutting to open a new provider in Carroll County officially.
