Sedley Day Care Task Force
Village Council recognizes a real need for a day care facility in our community.
We are looking for a group of 7Ð10 (or more) dedicated volunteers to form a committee
to research the possibilities of opening a day care facility in Sedley.
The Committee would be responsible for research requirements according to The Child
Care Act and any grants that are available for such facilities. Many other communities
have successfully taken advantage of grants available and opened day cares in their communities.
Interested? Contact the Village Office by March 22nd.
