Cenex and Farmers Union Oil Company of Berthold in Berthold, N.D., have awarded Kids Academy Daycare Center a $25,000 Hometown Pride grant. The center was selected for its dedication to providing working parents with access to local childcare services.

The Kids Academy Daycare Center was founded in 2012 when all three of Berthold’s local daycare centers closed and concerned citizens, business leaders and parents took action to fill the need for local childcare, launching a formal nonprofit to provide this key community necessity.

With the next closest childcare center nearly 30 miles away, the Kids Academy Daycare Center keeps its community bonded by allowing parents to live and work comfortably in Berthold, knowing their children are safe and cared for during the day.

We’re proud to support Kids Academy Daycare Center and are excited to give back to the important work happening in their local Cenex community.
