📢 We HEAR you Manson and surrounding areas. 🫶

We are often asked "When will you open?" We understand the urgent need for daycare in our area. We are so antsy to opening our doors as are all of you. To ensure long term success certain processes such as final approval through fire marshall, building codes, and blueprints take time to be done thoroughly and correctly. In order to optimize our space for as many children as allows, our renovations have been meticulously planned. We're working hard behind the scenes to move forward and begin remodel after the 1st of the year!
🤝 So, how can you help? As likely known, renovations are costly. We are currently accepting donations to move through this process smoothly and effectively. Are you or your employer interested in a sponsorship or pledge donation? Contact us via any board member, Facebook messenger, or our email at craterkidsmanson@gmail.com OR direct donations can be sent to P.O Box 26 Manson, IA 50563.
We are overjoyed and thankful to be working alongside our supportive community.
Thank You,
Crater Kids Community Daycare ❤️
