We are now seeking the right person to step into this important role. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who is passionate about early childhood education, strong leadership, and fostering a positive environment for both children and staff.

We are so grateful for the incredible generosity of Archer Credit Union! 💛

This week, they presented our Child Development Center with a $5,000 donation — and we truly cannot overstate what that means to us and the families we serve.

Here's the honest truth about childcare: it's not a profitable business. It never has been. We run on tight margins, big hearts, and the support of community partners like Archer Credit Union who believe — like we do — that every child deserves a safe, nurturing place to grow.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we rely on donations to keep our doors open and our rates accessible. If you or your business would like to invest in the next generation of Central City kids, we'd love to connect. Every dollar makes a real difference.

Thank you, Archer Credit Union. You didn't just donate money — you helped keep a community resource alive. 🙏

At Archer Credit Union, supporting our communities is at the heart of everything we do. 💙

This morning, we had the opportunity to present a donation to the Merrick County Child Development Center and spend time with Director Amy Kucera.

Organizations like this play such an important role in shaping the future—providing care, education, and a strong foundation for the youngest members of our community.

We’re proud to support their mission and the families they serve each and every day.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
Carolynn was an irreplaceable part of the heart of MCCDC. She was so many things to so many people: a friend, a mom, a grandma, a sister, a confidant, a comedian, a hug-giver, a dancer, a singer, a devoted lover of Jesus, a listening ear, Scooter’s lover, a giver of steady wisdom, and so much more than words can capture.
Over the past 24 hours, we have been overwhelmed by the countless stories and memories shared, each one a testament to the extraordinary number of lives Carolynn touched, spanning not just individuals, but generations of families.
As we mourn this profound loss and honor the life of someone so deeply cherished, MCCDC will be closed on Monday, January 12th, to allow our staff the time and space to grieve and attend her funeral.
Thank you for your incredible support and understanding as we continue to navigate this tragedy. Once again, I am reminded of the amazing community we are a part of!
I have had many people ask about donations. We can accept anything here at MCCDC and I will make sure it gets to the family. Venmo can be accepted.
