New toddler playground

Wee Care Learning Center recently installed new toddler-sized playground equipment, thanks to a grant from The Van Wert County Foundation. The age-appropriate equipment, which was installed in August on a special colored mulch base, will provide years of enjoyment to youngsters at the center. Here, Wee Care Learning Center Director Faith Fabian and Van Wert County Foundation Executive Secretary Larry Wendel pose with some toddlers who are using the equipment. Wee Care is also a United Way member agency. (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
