Community. Work. Play.

The Heart of Community, Work, and Play in Wanamingo, MN
There’s something special about small-town life in Wanamingo. It’s the way neighbors wave as they pass on County Road 30, the quiet beauty of open fields stretching toward the Zumbro River, and the sense that everything feels just a little more connected. But for a long time, families here had to leave town for essential services like reliable childcare or a professional place to work. That’s exactly why we created Core824. As a true Wanamingo, MN, community hub, we’ve brought together childcare, workspaces, and recreation all under one roof, giving local families a place where life flows a little easier and a lot more connected.
Areas Served
A Historic School Renovation with a New Purpose
Our story begins in 1902, inside a building that has stood as a cornerstone of Wanamingo for generations. For years, it was a school filled with the sounds of learning, laughter, and growth. Instead of letting that legacy fade, we chose to preserve it.
Through a thoughtful historic school renovation, we’ve transformed this beloved space into something new while honoring everything it once was. The original character still lives in the hallways, the classrooms, and the gymnasium, but now those spaces serve a broader purpose.
Today, Core824 continues that legacy by bringing together families, professionals, and community members in a way that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. It’s not just a building, it’s a place where past and present meet to support the future of Wanamingo.

Our licensed Wanamingo child care serves infants through school‑age kids (6 weeks–12 years) with a warm, nurturing environment and a schedule that supports busy families. Lunch and snacks are provided every day at our child care center in the heart of Goodhue County.
