New day-care aims to connect cultures, communities, develop character

BOARDMAN

HaSheen Wilson, like so many other entrepreneurs, has a dream. His is to have an impact on today’s youths.

His way of doing so was to open his Crawling To Destiny Daycare and Learning Center at 11 Overhill Road.

“This is my noble attempt at social justice,” he said.

Wilson, a father of three, network administrator at Youngstown State University and adjunct faculty member there, has noticed just living in the suburbs and working in the city that there are issues today with children, particularly in their character and values.

His idea was to create an educational environment that is representative of the community and provides children a chance to interact with others from a different background and culture.

His faith led him to not only believe, but to know he had to take a step into fixing the issues he saw and be the solution.

“It is a way of growing our community,” he said. “It is a way of taking back our community.”
