Beginning in September 2024, Buhler USD 313 opened two birth-school age child care centers. In total there are nearly 90 day care slots for staff and community children.

Starting in September 2025 we became a founding partner of the Kids Collective Child Care Network. Through this partnership the Kids Collective operates our two child care centers, providing high quality care with experienced leadership and incredible care for kids and our community as a whole.
