CANYON CITY โ€“ With childcare opportunities scarce in Grant County, Grant School District 3โ€™s Humbolt Elementary is stepping up to help fill the need.

Humbolt Childcare Center Director Trina Fell was on KJDYโ€™s Coffee Time to discuss the incoming childcare center. She said children from 6-months-old, all the way to school-age students are eligible. There will be a curriculum-driven preschool and daycare opportunities.

As with all startups and new endeavors, Fell mentioned there have been challenges:

โ€œWhatโ€™s been the biggest challenge is being able to show [parents and students] the classroom, as we are still setting up and getting things in. So, thatโ€™s my biggest focus right now, is being able to show them the program.โ€

She said if all goes well, they should be open and ready to accommodate youngsters beginning August 21st.
