We received word from the South Dakota Department of Social Services that Marion’s Bear Care (after-school childcare program) has obtained it’s certificate of license as a school-age care program from the state. Ms. Rita, our program's director, has been doing a wonderful job planning, growing, and providing exceptional care to the students enrolled and we can't thank her enough! She has worked extensively with the State of SD on this, and I am so proud to report that her program has earned this licensure.
Great work Rita!
