Boulder community group wants to start childcare program By: Jonathon Ambarian and last updated 2021-07-29 12:30:00-04 BOULDER â Families across Montana have been talking about the need for stable childcare options, especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, people in the community of Boulder are stepping up to address that need themselves. Boulder hasnât had a licensed childcare facility for three years. Thatâs had a real impact on people like Devyn Ottman, a teacher at Boulder Elementary School. She and her husband have three children, and they had to have eight different people look after their daughter just during a regular school year.
