The Smoky Hills Community Foundation has awarded a $๐๐,๐๐๐ grant to the Ellsworth Childcare and Learning Center as part of a larger restoration and foundation repair effort.
The Ellsworth Childcare and Learning Center is an important community asset, and caring for it requires thoughtful, coordinated investment. This grant supports interior improvements, including indoor air quality and classroom restoration, helping maintain a safe and healthy environment for children and staff.
