Dundee Children’s Center Announces Closure

Jim Moore / November 10, 2026

DUNDEE — Childcare Center of Dundee will shut down all operations and end its 3PK and general childcare programming later this month, marking an end to services for local families as financial pressures mount.

Center leadership announced on Facebook that the closure will take effect on November 25, 2026, following a detailed review of the facility’s balance sheets and daily logistical costs.

In the Facebook statement shared with the community, officials expressed that “with heavy hearts, we share the news that the Childcare Center of Dundee will be closing its doors and discontinuing all childcare and 3PK programming.”

Board members explained that rising economic hurdles ultimately forced their hand, noting that “the Board has carefully evaluated the center’s financial circumstances and the operational challenges involved in continuing to provide these programs.” According to the statement, those findings left no path forward for the Center: “Unfortunately, it has become clear that the center is no longer financially sustainable, and continuing operations is not feasible.”
