October 16, 2025 — A new daycare center is coming to Norfolk, the result of a five-year agreement between the Norfolk Area Childcare Collaborative (NACC) and First Presbyterian Church. The center is set to accommodate over 50 children, addressing a critical childcare shortage in the region.

For the past three years, the NACC, a business-led group, has been working to alleviate the childcare shortage in Norfolk and its surrounding communities.
