Thank you!

The Linwood Community Daycare would not be in operation today if it was not for our amazing community supporters:

A grant provided by the Snowshoe Foundation in 2013 gave us the funds we needed to purchase almost all our start up needs. Cribs, tables, chairs, toys, cots, you name it!  In 2014 we received funds to purchase indoor physical activity supplies - even when its cold & wet our kids are physically active!
Without this funding the opening of Linwood Community Daycare would have taken a lot longer.  Thank you to The Snowshoe Foundation and all of you that support them.

For the use of their building, providing maintenance and repairs, IT department, Risk Management, Ski Rentals, Transportation, and all round general support, Thank you!
