When a lithium-ion battery is exposed to cold temperatures, it can drain faster than normal or indicate it has ample power remaining and then suddenly go dead. Low temperatures can also make a device’s glass surfaces more sensitive to cracks and breaks. To learn more, consult the manufacturer’s website. Doniphan Darlings opened its doors on July 11, 2022, but its story began a year earlier. After several in-home daycares closed, a group of local philanthropists came together in 2021 to address the childcare shortage in Doniphan County. With help from USD 111, the group transformed the former Highland Grade School building at 202 West Illinois Street into a licensed daycare center—a process that required research, collaboration, funding, and dedication. The center offers programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children (ages 6–12) who need before- or after-school care. A drop-in program for part-time care is also available as space allows. Program Director Mackenzie Cunningham, a Highland native, said, “I’m most proud of the team that’s coming together at Doniphan Darlings. The board pours their heart and soul into the well-being of each employee and child. Our staff dreams big about how to serve our children in bigger ways.” Cunningham credits community generosity for the center’s success, noting that families and supporters have donated toys, books, clothing, baby supplies, and crafts. Reliable connectivity is also vital. “We couldn’t function without our fiber Internet connection from Rainbow. It’s how we stay connected with our partnering agencies, each other, and parents,” she said.
