In late March we submitted our application to the state of Ohio for licensure of our new venture, Christ Light Day Nursery, a childcare focused on homeless and formerly homeless children. Our staff member Tiffany Nirschel has taken the lead on this project with support from early childhood educator Amanda Nobbe.

Donors:

Community Playthings $8,000

The Sisters of Mercy $5,000

Anonymous $20,000

We are still hoping to raise $100,000 to cover the first year of operations.  Please email maryellen@stlydiashouse.org if you are interested in supporting this new project.

In light of current cuts to programs offering support to the poor we hope this venture will allow single mothers to work more, while their children are cared for well.  We plan to open September 1.
