By the Community, For the Community

Situated 5 miles from the Canadian border, Walhalla, ND is a small town with a population numbering just under a thousand people. And like most small towns, the residents of Walhalla know they can accomplish just about anything when the community bands together.

So, when all the home daycares in town had reached their full capacity and many growing families found themselves in need of more childcare options, Pat Chaput, Location President, and several other community members came together to open a new daycare in town: Kids Choice Child Care Center.

Since then the daycare has added a third additional room to accommodate the 30 kids they currently have enrolled. Some of the kids are there full time. Some part-time. Others just before and after school. Either way, it’s never a dull day for Madyson and her five other staff members.

Looking back on how Kids Choice Child Care Center came to be and what it is now, Pat only has one thing to say: “We’re proud of what we have. None of this would have been possible without the help of everyone in the community.”
