The city of Erie, Kansas is working on getting a Childcare Center

Access to quality child care can be a struggle for many rural communities. It’s something many families in Erie are dealing with. For now. The hope it that it won’t be that way for long. “We drive almost 20 miles in the morning, and then we come back to work, and then we drive another 20 to get them, and another 20 miles back, so we put 80 miles a day on our truck.” Says Kelly Diller, Erie Community Childcare Center Director. This is a common struggle for parents in rural communities like Erie. With no child care center for miles, parents either have to make a long drive or find other options.
