We, the owners of Homegrown Enrichment Center, are parents/caregivers of children and know the importance of quality daycare, where parents trust their children are in loving, caring hands. We believe that a daycare center will help stimulate the Saunders County economy by providing local jobs and dependable child care for parents who work outside the home.
