MVSB is proud to support Kidworks Learning Center through the purchase of $25,000 in New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) tax credits. The funding will help the nonprofit childcare center complete critical facility improvements that will expand access to quality, affordable childcare for families throughout the Lakes Region.

Kidworks Learning Center will use the tax credit funding to install a new exterior foundation drainage system and ADA-accessible ramp to address critical health and safety concerns impacting its ability to serve children and families. The upgrades will improve the center’s sustainability, create eight additional childcare spaces, and increase preschool enrollment.

“Reliable childcare is essential to the success of families, employers, and communities,” said Susannah Perron, MVSB Branch & Business Development Manager. “We’re proud to support Kidworks as they enhance their facility and expand access to quality childcare for lakes region families.”

“For 30 years, Kidworks has supported children at critical stages of growth while helping parents and caregivers work, attend school and stay active in the community. This project will strengthen our facility and allow us to continue serving families who count on Kidworks for safe, nurturing and consistent care,” said Jennifer Weeks, Executive Director of Kidworks Learning Center. “We are grateful for MVSB’s support and investment in our mission.”

Kidworks Learning Center is a nonprofit, charitable organization founded in 1996 to provide quality childcare and educational programs for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years. Go to kidworkslc.org to learn more.
