A Million Dreamz closer to offering 24/7 child care in Sheboygan as facility upgrades near completion

SHEBOYGAN — Progress on facility changes at A Million Dreamz , 415 Euclid Ave., continue.

The child care center finished construction on three classrooms, offices, a gross motor room and kitchen space from the summer , totaling eight classrooms. Now, the rooms will be painted and set up.

“I am so proud of all that we have accomplished, and I can't wait to keep moving forward!” said Angel Berry, A Million Dreamz executive director.

A Million Dreamz needs volunteer painters, plus funds to cover the remaining capital campaign costs, which are roughly $600,000. Rooms are still available for naming sponsorship.

The organization is moving toward the end goal of 24/7 service, now open from 5 a.m. to midnight seven days a week. About 50 people are employed, too.

Berry said A Million Dreamz can serve 140 children a month and is working through its waitlist of more than 300 kids.

“We enroll new families and more call in,” she said. “It will be a time before the industry is able to meet the needs of all the families in the area, but I know there are good plans in action throughout the county.”

United Way of Sheboygan County received a $75,000 grant to address child care needs in the area, like helping in-home providers get certified and conducting a child care impact survey.
