From DecaturMom…

In an effort to address the child care and education needs of the immediate community, the First Christian Church of Decatur is planning to offer an after school and school vacation program for children ages Pre-K through 5th grade starting in the Fall of 2010.

This is a grass roots effort that developed out of needs expressed by concerned parents in our community entering the CSD system with limited options for after school care and child care coverage during planned City of Decatur school vacation days.

After working with city inspectors, we were approved to use the facility at First Christian Church previously rented by the Georgia Center for Children. The facility, with a few modifications, can accommodate between 50 and 60 children between the hours of 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Transportation will be provided from City of Decatur schools to the facility.

Frequent and long time Decatur Metro commenter “Decatur Mom” has started her own blog!  It’s actually a different DecaturMom!  Pardon my confusion!

What’s the URL? Well…decaturmom.com of course!

From my own perusal of the site, it seems like she’ll be reporting on a little bit of everything Decatur, with a particular focus on kid-friendly activities/events. Definitely a topic worth covering in this kid-tropolis of a city!

In that spirit, Decatur Mom recently posted an informative day-by-day list of places around Decatur where kids eat free on weeknights. Click here to check it out!

Mmmm…mac and cheese…
