Third-quarter reviews bring more for Hill County to cheer about

Editor:

In September, four of our local licensed day cares were recognized for their excellent work on keeping their children up to date on their immunizations.

This month, I am proud to announce that Hill County has done it again, and with our third quarter reviews finished, five day cares are being honored once again for their dedication to childhood immunizations.

These day cares received this award because at least 90 percent of their children were up to date on their immunizations.

This is a very exciting award, and I am very hopeful that the fourth-quarter reviews will end our 2011 on a high note by bringing more of these certificates our way. The number one priority of day care providers is the children they watch, and the following day cares are excelling:

• Jackie Lovenguth
• Northern Montana Child

Development Center:

Early Head Start

• Little Monkeys Daycare:

Angela Toldness

• Lindsey's Daycare:

Lindsey Mader

• Happy House Daycare:

Sue O'Connell

Thank you to all the day care providers for your hard work and dedication to this important topic, and please keep up the good work.
