    SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The Crittenton Center has entered into an agreement with Early Childhood Development (ECD) to assume operations of the Orange City Area Daycare and Preschool (OCADP).

    The Orange City Area Daycare Board previously operated OCADP. The change of the Crittenton Center assuming operations will be effective on Sep. 3.

    “We are grateful for the opportunity to have served the Orange City area community for the last 37 years,” states Chelsie Robins, OCADP Board President. “We are appreciative of the support and direction from the ECD Board and the opportunity to pass the torch to Crittenton Center, a provider with a commitment to serving our community and a longstanding track record of excellent services to children and families.”

    ECD Board member and OCAHS CEO Martin Guthmiller states accessible, affordable, and quality childcare services are essential to families, employers, and the growth of a community.

    “Partnering with an experienced provider like Crittenton Center will enable the Orange City Area Daycare and Preschool to continue to provide excellent care while also accessing the economy of scale, efficiencies, and expertise that Crittenton Center brings to the table,” Guthmiller said. “We are grateful for the work of the OCADP Board and leadership over these last 37 years, and also their willingness to work with Crittenton Center to ensure a smooth transition for OCADP families and employees.”

    Kim Scorza, the CEO of Crittenton Center noted they are excited to serve Orange City and the surrounding communities by delivering high-quality childcare.

    “As a parent and now a grandparent, I take very seriously the need for child-focused and parent-supported childcare. There is no greater responsibility and privilege than to provide care for children,” Scorza said. “Over the last several months, working with members of the ECD, OCADP Board, OCADP leadership team, and Orange City Daycare Taskforce, it was very clear that their focus of providing high quality, accessible childcare and Crittenton’s mission of Sheltering, Educating, and Empowering Children, Individuals, and Families were very closely aligned.”

    Scorza also says they are excited to continue the tradition and to bring 30+ years of experience in childcare to the Orange City area community.
