The owners of iCare Child Development Center Lauren and Donte Davis have opened a second location in Stephens County, the new one is at 57 Stephen Drive, in Toccoa.

Lauren Davis says this is her fifth child development center overall and her second location in Toccoa-Stephens County.
“Thank you City of Toccoa, it’s an honor and a pleasure to continue to be able to invest in Toccoa-Stephens County. Our first location is at 1760 Currahee Street, which we opened back in October of 2022.

She says iCare Child Development Center started in her home 12 years ago.
“We are continuing to expand in the neighborhood. Like I said, I started off as an in-home daycare provider. I have grown over the last 12 years to five locations.
