Friends Kick Off 2005 Campaign

For 34 years, the Rehoboth Day Care Center on Route 1 near the canal in Rehoboth Beach, has been enriching the lives of low income parents and their children.

Between 40 and 45 children, ages one to 10 (some are latchkey children coming after school) attend the day care center. The students, mostly minority children receiving support from the state, receive breakfast, a hot lunch and nutritional stacks.

Funds from this year’s Friends of the Rehoboth Day Care Center campaign will help pay a new director and boost caregiver salaries, as well as improve computer access so the children will be ready for school.

Tax-deductible donations can be made payable to Rehoboth Day Care Center, and mailed to Friends of Rehoboth Day Care Center, PO Box 663, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. The day care center can be reached by calling 302-227-2651.
