Adventure Tykes Home Daycare
Why Donate?
"Hi friends and community members,
My name is Jude Wiley, and after 5 years of experience as a caregiver, I’m starting something close to my heart—Adventure Tykes Home Daycare, a licensed, play-based childcare program opening in May 2026 at my home in Manhattan, Kansas.
This daycare will provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where young children can grow, explore, and thrive. As I work toward licensing and startup, I’m seeking support from my community to help with essential costs—like child-sized furniture, educational materials, and safety equipment.
Our full startup budget is $199,587.16, and while most of this is already covered, I’m asking for donations to help bridge the gap of $15,344.72, which covers some of the most important items to get up and running.
Every dollar helps and brings us closer to opening our doors to families who need quality, affordable childcare."
