Preschool Expo
The City of Troy is offering a great opportunity to learn about daycare and preschool options in one comprehensive forum at the Troy Community Center on Thursday, January 17, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Parents can speak to dozens of qualified childcare professionals from more than 20 licensed daycare and preschool providers located in Troy and surrounding communities. The event is open to the public and no registration is required.
“Choosing childcare is too important to leave to a newspaper ad or website, which is why this event is the perfect opportunity for parents to meet with preschool providers and determine which is best for their child,” Community Affairs Director Cindy Stewart said. “Parents can speak to dozens of qualified childcare professionals that are located right in their own city.”
