OGDEN, Utah (AP) — A Utah high school’s new child-care program is helping young parents finish their education and spend more time with their children.
The Standard-Examiner reports several young mothers are the first to access the re-vamped child care program at Two Rivers High School in Ogden, which opened at the beginning of the school year.
The school had a similar child-care program that shuttered in 2016 because there wasn’t enough interest to justify funding. About eight children ages 4 months to 2 years are enrolled in the program.
Principal Nicole Meibos says district officials and community donors helped re-launch the program.
Student Sydnee Daily says the program has helped her 5-month-old daughter Mila learn new skills and become more social.
