We are pleased to announce a partnership for families in Watertown between Educare (Lake Area’s Daycare) and McKinley Early Childhood Center.
Care will be available at Educare from 6:30 AM until 5:45 PM for families whose children attend McKinley Early Childhood Center during the 2025-26 school year. This is an expansion of the current partnership for kindergarten students; it increases availability and helps parents simplify care for their preschool aged children outside of school hours. The Watertown School District will provide the transportation to and from Educare, supporting families so they will not have to find additional options for transportation.
Preschool screening slots are still available next week on March 17 and 18. More information can registration can be found here: https://www.watertown.k12.sd.us/article/2045439
Educare registration for the 2025 - 2026 school year will begin on April 1st through the Lake Area website, http://www.lakeareatech.edu.
