Scope and content
On a sunny June day in 1940, eleven unidentified young children enjoyed playing on the slide in the backyard of the Tacoma Day Nursery at 12th and I Streets. For over 28 years, the Day Nursery had been providing day care for the children of working mothers. 25-35 children, up to five years of age, were cared for each day. On Friday June 14, 1940 the day nursery held their annual Flag Day sale to raise money for the daycare center's activities. (T. Times 6/13/1940, pg. 14)
