LinkAbility Childcare now open in Branson West

LinkAbility, an area organization dedicated to serving individuals with developmental disabilities by connecting them to resources and services in their communities, is excited to announce the opening of their new Childcare Center, located at 107 Crevis Rd. in Branson West. 

With the shortage of quality childcare across Missouri, the opening of a new option is sure to be good news for working parents in the Branson West area as tourism-related employers enter a busy season. The Center will offer before- and after-school care, full-time childcare for ages six weeks to five years, and special “Parents’ Night Out” events. 

The mission of LinkAbility Childcare Center is to offer high-quality, inclusive care that supports the growth and development of children of all abilities, including those with or without developmental disabilities. Age-specific learning programs will support cognitive, physical and social skill development, with plenty of engaging activities for well-rounded growth. Safety considerations are also in place, including child-proofed facilities, strict entry/exit protocols, and staff trained to handle emergencies. 

The Center hours will be Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a variety of part-time and full-time options available for different parent schedule needs. Exact opening date is pending final paperwork approvals, but Dr. Katrina Kaufman of LinkAbility said she expects it will be soon, and as of press time there are still openings available.
