Provide Child Care: Once a month the teachers in our childcare center get together for team building and training.  However  many of our teachers have their children enrolled in the childcare center while they teach.  During these monthly meetings 1-2 teachers miss out on training as they watch their own as well as the children of the other teachers.  Our hope is to find a volunteer that might be able to help with this need. Help is needed on the 3rd Wednesday of every month from 5:30 - 6:30pm.
