The Baker School District will try a new approach now that rapidly rising construction costs have temporarily thwarted the district’s schedule to build a cafeteria/multipurpose building at Baker Middle School.
BAKER CITY â The Baker County YMCA will open a child care center at the Baker Early Learning Center in September.
The center will have space for 40 children â 12 from age six weeks to two years, and 28 three-, four-or five-year-olds.
In a press release announcing the facility, Rob Wilkinson, CEO of the Baker County YMCA, said the center is a collaborative effort to address a critical need for families and employers.
âWe look forward to providing high-quality, dependable child care to local families who need it,â Wilkinson said in the press release. âParents and other caregivers will be able to work productively throughout the community without worrying about the care of those most precious to them.â
