A small group of local citizens along with members of the core team of Crofton Communities for Kids gathered at the Haymarket on January 22 to receive an update on steps being taken to support and expand childcare services in Crofton.
Mike Feeken, Strategic Partnerships Advisor for First Five Nebraska, presented significant information on the economic impact on the Crofton community of maintaining financial support for families in need of childcare and the childcare facilities who provide the care for those families.
