The public first gained a chance to view the new facility, standing at 200 East Lodge Road, in Hiawatha, in early February.
That followed completion of the construction, which began last June.
The idea for Little Hands began when child care was identified as a need in the Hiawatha community, with the board, to oversee the plan, formed in 2007.
The funds, to make the child care center a reality, have been generated through a number of sources.
