Overview
Mission
To empower the region’s diverse low-income, minority and marginalized communities by providing critically needed comprehensive and compassionate programs and services. The first five years of a child’s life are a time of tremendous physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, while developing social skills and independence. The developmental support children receive during these early years greatly affects future academic achievements and the level of success they achieve later in life. We understand that play is the foundation of childhood learning. Play is how children start to understand their world and develop socialization skills, while learning how to problem-solve and strengthen language skills. Our Centers utilize the “Creative Curriculum”. Creative Curriculum is a research-based curriculum that features exploration and discovery as a way of learning.
