President’s Message
Someone said: “It takes a village to raise a child.” How true that is, and The Kings Daughter’s Day Care is a perfect example of doing just that for the past 110 years.
It’s a combination of the many gifts and talents of the staff working together with parents, volunteers and donors using creative ideas to guide and lead our youth as they prepare them for the future.
