MCDC was founded by congregations committed to providing quality childcare to all children, regardless of race or income. Designed to allow children from all backgrounds to learn and play together, MCDC continues to provide outstanding childcare. Community UCC was a founding congregation; Maria Murray Riemann is our current representative on the Board of Directors of this non-profit.

A note from Maria

“I am on the Board because I am interested broadly in issues that concern women and children. I have spent time at the Center, and I wish all kids could have the experience that young children have at MCDC. I want to see that it continues. However, MCDC is NOT well-funded--like most not-for-profit daycares with which I am familiar. There are MANY kids who receive vouchers at the center. This money that the county provides is but a fraction of the true cost of the child's education at the center. They need $$--they could also use our sweat to keep the physical plant in top shape. We need to care about this center--we helped found it--now it is our responsibility to keep it functioning. We need to step up to the plate if we really care about the next generation of kids. I'll try to see that this happens.”

Living your faith!

• Read aloud to a preschool class once a week.
• Child-proof a playground. The three playgrounds need constant upkeep with weeding, paint, sanding.
• Make a donation for the day to day work of the center.
