The center is located at Park City High School, 1750 Kearns Blvd. “Our mission and philosophy is to provide affordable and quality care,” she said. “We strive to make it available for all the parents in our community.” The center’s curriculum differs between age groups, Pannebaker said. “The elementary school kids comes in on Fridays when they get out of school early at noon,” she said. “We call them our Panther Club.” While the younger kids get to participate in circle time with songs and stories, the pre-school kids get the opportunity for eight weeks of ski lessons, to go ice skating at the Park City Ice Arena and participate in gymnastics and tennis at PC MARC. “We also hop on the bus and take trips to the Swaner EcoCenter for some snowshoeing or a field trip at the Park City Museum,” Pannebaker said. “This year will be different due to COVID, but we do as much as we can.” Although the care center sports the Park City School District name, it is an independent organization, Pannebaker said. “We have no affiliation with them, but they are an extreme support system for us,” she said. “They offer the track, Dozier Field, their gym and baseball fields.” The Historic Park City Alliance encourages you to think local f irst in support of the small business economy.

The Park City School District Child Care Center runs yearly on an approximate budget of $420,000, which solely comes from enrollment, Pannebaker said. It also runs on a skeleton crew of 12, said. “Since our numbers have dropped due to COVID-19, we are pretty much going day-byday,” Pannebaker said. “We’ve never had to ask the community for help before, so this is new to us.” The center will join the Park City Community Foundation’s Live PC Give PC day of giving on Nov. 6, and people can start donating now, by visiting pcsdccc.org. One of the unforeseen expenses during the pandemic was for personal protective equipment, Baer said. “We have to provide everyone with smocks, masks and gloves,” she said.
