Little Hornets is more than a high-quality daycare center; it is a valuable resource for Mansfield Public Schools students and staff. At a time when public schools across the state and across the country are struggling to attract educators, Mansfield distinguishes itself by being able to offer affordable, high-quality childcare to families working in the district. This is a resource Mansfield can’t afford to lose. Since its opening in 1974, Little Hornets has provided countless Mansfield educators and their families with peace of mind knowing that as they teach the children of Mansfield, their own children were being well cared for just minutes away. It has also offered countless students vital learning and career building opportunities through its internship program. The town and school district in the past have found creative ways to keep Little Hornets open amid competing needs for space in the district. We ask that they do so again to sustain this precious resource for our community. Little Hornets makes our school district a better place to work and a better place to learn. We must do all that we can to ensure it stays open. If you agree, please join with the Mansfield Educators’ Association in signing our petition imploring local elected leaders to find a new home for Little Hornets. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/save-the-little-hornets-daycare-center
