    My goal is to enroll 10 more kids so that we can afford to rent auditoriums for special events like graduation and holiday recital. My child care facility is small and can’t be expanded anymore.

    Our goal is to save money by enrolling for state assistance with the food program. Currently we purchase all food ourselves. This would help us immensely. With the new savings, we could update our playground.

    We have 4 open spots. If we could fill those spots we would upgrade our dramatic play center.
