MOUNT STERLING, Ill. â Allison Koch and her husband, Nolan, lost day care for their son, Lucas, in March when their provider decided to shut down at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finding day care for him proved to be a challenge, so Koch had to rely on her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to care for him while they were at work. Since March, they have been on several waitlists for a few in-home day cares, but it was difficult to find space as day cares can only have so many young children.
Next month, the uncertainty should end for 18-month-old Lucas as he will start at the new Brown County Early Learning Center that is set to open after months of renovations. The 8,500-square-foot facility has a capacity of 80 children from infants to pre-kindergarten.
