The Nest

Taylor County Schools is excited to announce childcare for our teachers and staff members beginning August 2024. The childcare rooms will be in front of Taylor County Middle School and will be staffed with licensed and trained employees. There is a one-year-old room and a two/three-year-old. Children enrolling must be one by August 1, 2024. 

If you would like to enroll your child or grandchild, please fill out the enrollment packet and return it, along with updated immunizations, to The Nest (ATTN Melody Coppage), the Taylor County Board of Education (ATTN Maddie Gumm), or Taylor County Primary Center (ATTN Melissa Long).
