Contact usOur History
Bear Creek Kids Campus originated within Brooklyn Community Estate, a 50 bed skilled and long-term care facility in Brooklyn, Iowa. Owners, Shane and Susan Sissel, recognized the struggles employees faced finding quality, consistent childcare in the community.
The Sissels utilized The Child Care Business Incentive Grant Program, in conjunction with Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) and the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The grants were geared at helping employers offer or expand child care options as a benefit to their employees. Funds supported local infrastructure investments to build or expand child care capacity, or supported arrangements between employers and child care facilities to expand and reserve child care slots.
In September of 2022, Brooklyn Community Estate was awarded
$426,225
to assist in building a new childcare center.
We hope you and your child become part of our story, today.
Inclusivity
Throughout our community, we share a commitment to fostering a culture where differences are valued, and interactions are free of bias. We place value on each child’s unique identities, abilities, backgrounds, and points of view. It’s part of a commitment we made to make a difference and have a positive impact. We want our employees, teachers, and each child in our care to be comfortable sharing their authentic self. That’s why it is important for us to ensure a wide range of diverse voices are recognized and represented.
Together, we work hard to celebrate diversity, embrace our community, and create a sense of belonging where everyone thrives.
