Fremont Childcare

The Fremont Community School Child Care Center is proud to be starting its third year of operation. After a great deal of preparation, hard work, and community support, the center was opened in August of 2002. Since opening, the center has grown with leaps and bounds, doubling its capacity and enrollment. The center is a licensed facility located within the Fremont School and provides quality childcare to infants, toddlers, preschool, and school age children from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students enrolled in the center enjoy the hands-on-learning activities, day camps provided through the Iowa State Extension Office, field trips and visits from Pete, the Naturalist from the Mahaska County Department of Natural Resources. Daily activities include developmentally appropriate learning activities, crafts, circle time, and play through exploration, story times, music and movement.

Mahaska County residents may participate in the Parent Time Out Program through the Fremont Child Care. This is a program of the Mahaska County Child Abuse Prevention H.U.G.S. Council and allows for parents to place a child in care for 10 hours per month.

Kathy Brookhiser, certified teacher, is the co-director of the Fremont Child Care Center along with Angela Livezey, Principal of the Fremont Community School District. The two directors oversee care for thirty children. They also ensure the facility is operating within the requirements, licensing standards, and procedures regulated by the Iowa Department of Human Services.
