History/Board of Directors

The Board of Directors consists of: Bradi Arnold, Nicole Dennler, Jenna Goeman, Sarah Janssen, Raelynn Thilges, and Sarah Zwiefel.

The summer of 2019 was a turning point for daycare in this community. Several in-home daycares had closed. Parents were turning to daycares out of town and family members, or they were quitting careers because of the lack of daycare. A non-profit daycare was created: Colts Corner Daycare Center, out of need to provide families with a safe and loving place to bring their kids and to help our community grow. CCDC partnered with Build A Better Belmond, the City of Belmond and First Children’s Finance to start making the daycare center a reality.

When COVID hit in 2020, our community, state and nation were made aware of how dire child care really was, especially in rural areas. While this made our project more expensive, more funding was made available than ever before which helped the progression of our daycare.

Three years later - after countless meetings, fundraisers and donations, the CCDC board can warmly welcome you to our CCDC family. Thank you from all of us on the CCDC board!
