Child Care Junction prides itself on its ability to provide quality care and education at an affordable rate for the families of Boone County. Viability and sustainability are only possible when a careful balance of quality and affordability is obtained. In our community where wages tend to be lower and where stable work and local employment is more difficult to secure, the ability to balance quality and affordability is quite challenging. Only by supplementing parent fees with dedicated community-wide financial support is this balance possible.

Since July of 2007, we have been blessed to receive funds from the following:

  • Adolph and Rosetta J. Peterson Charity Foundation
  • Boone and Dallas Counties Decategorization Project
  • Boone County Empowerment
  • Boone County Endowment Fund
  • Boone County FORCE
  • Center for Child Care Resources
  • First Children’s Finance / Iowa Growth Fund Project
  • George Paul and Grace E. Lowrey Foundation
  • Human Services Council of Boone County
  • Iowa School Age Care Alliance
  • Leonard A. Good Trust
  • National Association for the Education of Young Children
  • SL Moore Foundation

The donations received from these funders have allowed us to have direct impact on the quality care and education given to the children in Boone County. We greatly appreciate their support!

Quality child care and early education services at an affordable rate for parents is challenging for most families in this economy; we find in a rural community such as Boone that it is particularly difficult. Please help us continue our mission! All donations are tax-deductible.

In addition to financial giving, several community members and parents volunteer their time and comprise the Child Care Junction Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for overall governance functions of Child Care Junction… creating a mission and vision, child care center oversight, fundraising, etc. The current Board of Directors includes Sara Behn, Julie Kordick, Kathi Stirling, Christina Bauer, Deborah Arringdale, Jennifer Ellis, Ryan Mahoney, Angela Lange, Jim Turbes, and Amy Walter.
