We are more than a preschool. Our program is comprehensive, including:

Early Childhood Education
Health
Nutrition
Mental Health
Social Services

Our services create gainful employment.

In a global recession, employment is even more difficult to sustain. Our Agency services help families maintain gainiful employment. How? By providing *free* child care services to our families; freeing them from the costly price of obtaining these services elsewhere.

In economically trying times, more parents are searching for affordable childcare services. By providing our services free we help hundreds of families each year obtain or maintain gainful employment.
