Perspective of a long time resident: Vote YES on the new childcare facility

Posted

Dear Editor,

My name is Jeannette Smith, I live on Caribou Road. I have lived here for 70 winters (year round) and 8 summers before that. I was also a Teacher’s Aid at Nederland Elementary School for 29 years and love children.

I would like to express my full support for the “YES” vote on the July 30, 2024, special election to allow TEENS, Inc. to lease town-owned land to build a new childcare facility in Nederland. Daycare in Nederland is essential because it promotes higher enrollment in Nederland Elementary School and Nederland Middle-Senior High School. The article “Support for more quality, affordable childcare in Ned” on page 6 of the July 4, 2024, edition of The Mountain Ear highlights many other reasons why this is essential.

If you are a registered voter in the Town of Nederland, please consider voting YES to help increase access to affordable, quality childcare for the benefit of not only our families with small children, but our entire community.

Sincerely,

Jeannette Smith

Nederland
