business, day care, marian's kids,
For years‚ Bob Zajic watched his distribution staff at Lee Summit’s Post Office struggle to find child care at night‚ and for years he lobbied his wife to take the leap from day care to round-the-clock service.
In 2006‚ she took the plunge‚ opening 24 hours and boosting her staff to 16.
“I just decided the timing was right‚” says Marian Zajic‚ who started in-home care in 1983 and moved to a standalone facility in 2002 near Harris Memorial Park. Night clients get the same attention that has made Marian’s Kids the biggest extended family in Lee’s Summit.
“The only thing I can tell you is that my Christmas card list has grown about 50 children a year for the last 20 years‚” she says. “My kids keep in touch. They’re a part of our family‚ and we’re a part of their family.”
