In partnership with the Mount Pleasant Community School District (MPCSD), Mount Pleasant Childcare Center is thrilled to announce the launch of Panther Zone, a fun, safe, and enriching after-school program designed to address a critical gap in our community.
Set to begin January 13, 2025, Panther Zone was created in response to a recent survey revealing that 64.7% of local families need after-school care. The program will provide structured support for Pre-K to 5th-grade students, with more than 50 spots available at Harlan Elementary School.
Cairece allen, Mount Pleasant Community Childcare center talks a little bit about the new Panther Zone program and a grant they were awarded to make it possible:
Operating Monday through Friday on school days only, from dismissal until 5:30 PM, Panther Zone will offer homework assistance, engaging activities, healthy snacks, and transportation between elementary schools provided by MPCSD. This initiative expands Mount Pleasant Childcare’s capacity to support more families across Henry County, bridging the gap in childcare and after-school programming.
Families can register now, but spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is a $25 annual registration fee and $75 per week in tuition. Enrollment packets are available at Mount Pleasant Childcare, located at 304 W Washington Street, Mount Pleasant, IA 52641.
