N.D. child care close budget gap

Fargo’s Nokomis Child Care Centers are two-thirds of the way to their goal of raising $170,000 to close a major gap in the agency’s budget.

FARGO (AP) — Fargo’s Nokomis Child Care Centers are two-thirds of the way to their goal of raising $170,000 to close a major gap in the agency’s budget.

Gary Wolsky, president of The Village Family Service Center, which runs Nokomis, said the child care agency has received slightly more than $100,000 in donations and pledges.

Wolsky says up to 70 percent of the children attending Nokomis are from families receiving government assistance.

And, he says, about 70 percent of the 161 children at the agency’s two Fargo centers have special needs that make them difficult to place in other child care centers.
