Lopez Children’s Center has been featured in an international children’s education magazine. Jane Hobbs, Sherry Brummel, Connie Holz, Shanley Lett, Kiki Martin, Jules McLeland, and Carole White all contributed to an article called “Challenges of a small center” for Exchange magazine. The article discusses the community, programs, challenges, budget cuts and families.

Jane Hobbs is quoted as saying, “By being flexible and willing to accommodate the needs of the families on our small island, we have built close relationships with our parents and children. Making a living and meeting their basic needs is sometimes difficult. But knowing that members of the community care enough to create and maintain a high-quality, nurturing early childhood environment for their children gives meaning to ‘it takes a village . . .’.”
