The Southwest Day Care is benefiting after a 15 thousand dollars pick me up from the Ronald McDonald House Charities this week.

 

A nice boost in funding for a local daycare centre this week as Southwest Daycare on South Hill picked up a cheque for 15 thousand dollars from Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Parent and Chairperson Laura Skaaf tells us where they'll use the money. "We've called it our Special needs Enhancement Program which will go to benefit the children. We've got children here in wheelchairs and it'll help with our ramp, special needs equipment, and out bathrooms that we're going to be enhancing for the kids."

25 percent of the children at Southwest Daycare have special needs.
