Small Strides Child Care Center hosted a grand opening today for its new location at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center.

The center can hold up to 150 students aged six weeks to six years old.

This new location is about 30 minutes East of Reno, and it sits right off of USA Parkway.

Small Strides hopes that this learning center will make it easier for parents that have to work a lot of hours.

"We're open seven days a week and 14 hours a day, so we're open a long time. Our goal is to make this place feel like a second home for the children, and so they are here a lot, and we often have families that have long shifts," said Brittany Russell, Director for Small Strides.

Small Strides plans to stay open until 8 P.M. to help accommodate those parents that work later shifts.

They also hope this new center helps increase childcare access in the area.

The owners tell us that right now, many families in the area are on wait lists for similar services due to high demand. 

Storey County leaders hope more places like this open up in the future, as the need continues to grow in Northern Nevada.

"Certainly, open to supporting anyone who wants to provide need and services like this, the door is really open here in Storey County for all types of businesses, and so in addition to the industrial park here, 10% of the park is allowed to be commercial, and we envision that really maturing over the next few years," said Storey County Commissioner, Clay Mitchell.

Small Strides is still accepting students at their new location, so if you are interested, visit www.smallstridespreschool.com to learn more.
