Crossroads Daycare

Granite Falls Boys & Girls Club Early Learning Center is a daycare located at Crossroads high school. Around five years ago Bridgette saw a need to help out our school teen moms. Moms were struggling to find ways to get their babies to daycare and themselves to school. That is when

childcare was brought to our students. They accept children from one month to two-and-half years old. The daycare has two rooms designed for the difference in age groups; one for infants and one for toddlers. The toddler room was just opened in September 2017.

The infant room has toys to help them walk and crawl and singing toys to help them understand the concept of making sounds.The toddler room is more open and has sections for different types of learning. The toddlers love to get their little hands messy and paint, draw, do arts and crafts. While still learning to use their tiny fingers, they need a little help with their projects.

The infant room is licensed for up to 9 children and the toddler room is licensed for up to 14 children. The daycare accepts private pay and DSHS. Childcare can be pricey, and for our teen moms, it can be the determining factor in choosing a daycare. That is why our daycare accepts DSHS to help students and community members financially pay for childcare. They accept children from the Crossroads students and are also open to the community. The hours are Monday through Friday 6am to 6pm.
         If you would like to come and play with the children stop by and pick up an application; they are always looking for volunteers. It is a great way to get your volunteer hours required for graduation! You can also take daycare as an elective; it’s a fun way to spend one period of the day just playing and loving on babies. The daycare would love it if you came to do an art project or read to the children. The little kids love playing with the big kids.
      They are always accepting donations of clothes, baby food, toys, high chairs and bouncers.
