RCDC After-School Program Bursts
Bethel CRC Facilitates 38% Growth
River City Day Care provides preschool instruction for both three and four-year old children, as well as day care. In addition, RCDC provides for after school care for school-age children. Historically we have had to limit our after school numbers to 65 or less due to space constraints.
In cooperation with Bethel Christian Reformed Church, Unity has entered into a contract to use the educational wing of BCRC this year in order to expand after school service to more families of school-age children. (BCRC is located just north of Fulton elementary and middle schools. Its educational wing provides RCDC with about double the square footage RCDC could provide.) Since this decision was made, RCDC has enrolled 90 children in this program, a 38% increase in school-age supervision.
Paula Dykstra, Director of RCDC, believes the numbers will continue to grow since the need for after school care is so great. Please pray for the RCDC staff and BCRC as we work together to touch the lives of many community children.
