The Delaware News Journal interviewed Kingswood Community Center Director of Operations Julie Bieber for a story on childcare licensing this week: 

“Kingswood Community Center in Wilmington opens the doors to its Early Learning Academy at 7 every morning.

The 65 kids between the ages of 1 and 5 years old are dropped off to a team of teachers and staff for a day of playing, meals and creative learning units. All of the Early Learning Academy’s operations must meet guidelines set by state laws, or the community center risks losing its early childcare provider license.
