Little Steps Community Care at Tower Heights Community Center Director Tracie Maxey holds an excited A.J. Grayble Jr., 3, Friday morning at the new day care center on Tower Heights Road. Family Promise of Hall County is working with other groups to start the child care program for its families begining on Aug. 7.
For families in transition, efforts to find a job can often be hindered by the need for child care. “I found myself where I had no job, no vehicle, no money and no resources,” said Holly, who asked that her last name not be used so she wouldn’t be specifically identified. “My significant other, it was just a really bad situation and I could not stay in that… I found Family Promise and I got out.”
