Country Kids Day Care

Lenexa, Kansas

Linda Shay started Country Kids Day Care in 1996 with a desire to offer premium service daycare. Her unique business concept features infant care and other special services such as dry cleaning drop-off, carry-out dinner service, evening/weekend care, more outside activities/atmosphere than other facilities, and on-site ownership/management. An SBA 504 loan from Johnson County Certified Development Company (JCCDC) in Overland Park, Kansas, helped finance the original land purchase and building construction. One year later, the JCCDC 504 loan helped finance a planned 3,660 square foot addition. The day care has capacity for 157 children and created 30 new jobs.
