Appleseed Childhood Education in Rensselaer has received a $133,200 Community Facilities grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Rural Development Indiana to support the creation of Appleseed’s new early learning center in Rensselaer.
When renovations are complete, the facility will meet state licensing requirements for providing daytime child care five days a week for 73 children ages 6 weeks through 5 years in age.
“We are excited to receive this grant from the USDA-Rural Development Indiana, and we appreciate the statement this award makes: that early learning is essential for rural communities like Rensselaer,” said Adam Alson, Indiana Farm Bureau member and president of Appleseed.
