Today’s Kids are Tomorrow’s Hope!
OUR VISION
We envision a community where every child delayed by the traumas of homelessness and poverty has equal access to early childhood education and healing behavioral health services in a thoughtfully designed, purpose-built center. This brand new and expanded physical environment reflects our commitment to equity and excellence to unlock the innate potential in every child regardless of their background, while expanding the trained workforce for accomplishing this vital work.
THE NEW CENTER WILL
- 1
Provide critical behavioral health services to help children overcome delays
- 2
Increase capacity by 100 students served daily
- 3
Give kids a solid foundation for their K-12 careers
- 4
Expand the number of empowered & trained early childhood educators
