In this episode, we sit down with Katie Benner, President of the Merrick County Child Development Center Board, for an inspiring conversation about the vital role high-quality, reliable child care plays in sustaining and growing our small communities. Katie shares her personal journey with the center—first as a parent, then as a board member—and highlights how access to child care empowers local families and supports economic development.

We also break the news of an exciting $12,650 grant awarded to the center from the Merrick Foundation to renovate a 20+ year-old classroom. From updated flooring to energy-efficient lighting, these improvements ensure a safe, modern space for local children to thrive.

Whether you’re a parent, donor, or simply passionate about helping small towns thrive, this episode is packed with insight, gratitude, and ways to get involved.
