The New Beginnings Daycare in Ochre River is open.
Liza Hess, the vice-chair of the daycare, has more.
“So we’ve been, in the past two years, in the process of getting the daycare up and running, getting our licensing, fundraising so we can open a facility in the Ochre River School. So, we were excited to open the doors, September 3rd was our 1st opening day. We have three full-time staff working in the centre, where there is 9-12 kids fulltime every day.”
Right now there is some space open at the daycare but it depends on the scheduling of the child. If you’d like to see if your scheduling works, you can email them at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Hess says securing the operating grant was their toughest hurdle.
“So we could actually get up and running, cause without that, then the doors wouldn’t be able to open. As far as the support of the community, it’s been phenomenal, and the volunteers and the opportunities we were given, with Co-Op Fuel Days, the municipality and the village making a very generous donation is what’s made it so we can open our doors today.”
Hess is grateful for the opportunity to do the project, the staff at Ochre River School, and she’d like to thank their staff and director for all the work they’ve done to make the daycare a success.
