Day Nursery of Abilene named top nonprofit in city
The Day Nursey of Abilene, which provides services for almost 400 children each day, was recently named the Nonprofit of the Year by the Abilene Chamber of Commerce.
The award was presented Sept. 20 at the chamber's annual membership banquet.
In a news release, Day Nursery of Abilene CEO Cynthia Pearson said that the nursey is critical to the economic development of Abilene.
"If parents can’t work, then it’s a vicious cycle for not only the families, but the respective businesses and their customers – both internal and external," Pearson said.
The Day Nursery of Abilene began operations in 1972. It opened its fourth site in January, in partnership with Hendrick Health System and Hardin-Simmons University.
