Local childcare program reports growth, seeks more space; invites board visit
Summary
Meaningful Mindz told the Carbon County CDE Board it used 2025 grant funds for building improvements, now serves 48 children with six full-time staff, and seeks more space to add infant care and open a branch in Emery County.
Janelle Fiack, representing Meaningful Mindz, reported to the Carbon County Community Economic Development Board that the organization used its 2025 Rural County Grant for building improvements including security cameras, painting, and groundwork. She said the program has grown from having no startup funding and being housed temporarily at a museum to serving 48 children and employing six full-time staff.
Fiack told board members the program needs more space—especially for infant care—and plans to open a branch in Emery County. She invited the board to visit the facility to see completed improvements and discuss future funding options. The board took note of the report as part of routine recipient monitoring and grant oversight.
