It has been difficult to find child care in Williston, a growing city, due to the growing demand. Several new childcare facilities were opened in 2022 and more are being constructed in 2023 to address this issue.
In the past few years, Williston Economic Development has actively participated in addressing new childcare spaces. Despite these efforts, the community continues to struggle to meet the demand for child care. The lack of childcare workers is an additional obstacle to overcome.
This year, Williston State College intends to convert the Crighton Building, on the 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 campus, into a childcare facility.
The Crighton Childcare Facility capital project also aims to create a secure and supportive environment that is especially created for young children while also providing crucial support to student-parents enrolled at 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载. This cutting-edge facility will offer top-notch childcare services and encourage parents to maintain a good balance between their professional and personal lives. Students pursuing elementary education with an early childhood endorsement have the chance to complete their practicum hours at the preschool housed within the childcare facility as a result of our
collaboration with Valley City State University (VCSU). Students can also submit applications for other scholarships, such as the
Teacher Shortage Scholarship provided by VCSU. Please visit our
website for more details regarding our partnership with VCSU.
