Childcare can be difficult to find and difficult to afford - especially on a teacher’s salary. KBIA’s Rebecca Smith has more on one new program in Moberly that aims to keep teachers in their classrooms.

The Moberly School District recently opened the Little Spartans Clubhouse," an embedded, in-school daycare option for district teachers. Vicky Snodgrass is the director of the Little Spartan Clubhouse and spoke about how this new resource benefits students, teachers – and the community as a whole.

Moberly and Randolph County have a pretty high rate of families being involved in the foster system.

Ashley Swon is a counselor who lives in Moberly and works at Crossroads Counseling LLC based in Fayette. She spoke about the benefits of this home-based care and of giving families skills that help them stay together.

James Williams and Keeyon Howard help run the “Focus on Fatherhood” program in Moberly, which is through Randolph County Caring Community Partners and works to improve the well-being of the entire community by investing in fathers.
