Childcare  

          With and ever-increasing number of single-parent families and families where both parents work outside the home, the need for quality childcare has become fundamental.  Not only is there a need to find childcare for infants and toddlers, but also for elementary children before and after school.  Also, some parents may need childcare services at odd hours and on weekends.  Finding such childcare at a price that parents can afford presents an equally challenging dilemma.  Falling Water Elementary educates many students who are living in single-parent homes.  There are also many children whose parents both work outside the home.  Though many daycare centers are capable of serving the needs of parents at Falling Water, only a few are listed in order to portray the variety of services available.
