Letter to the Editor:

Hearing the news about Kids’ Corner Daycare, the budget shortfall, and the possible questionable actions of one is very disheartening. As a parent with two children enrolled there, I can’t help but worry about what would happen to my kids if the facility would have to close.

This center, as well as all who are employed there, is an asset to our community.

I continue to be touched by the extra effort that the staff puts in while caring for all the children enrolled there. My son has a speech delay and the teachers take extra time to help him. When he makes progress they are just as excited as I am. I know every day that I drop them off, my kids are receiving excellent care by individuals who genuinely care about them and their well-being.

This is the time that our community needs to pull together and do whatever we can to help, whether that is fundraisers, silent auctions, bake sales, volunteering our time, or simply lending our support. I ask that we do this not only for ourselves, but also for our children and those employed by Kids’ Corner as well. Let’s ensure that this facility will continue to be an asset to our community in the future.
