UNITED TO GIVE KIDS AN EQUAL CHANCE
We believe every child should have an equal opportunity to succeed. Statistically, early childhood care leads to on time high school graduation. Those students are more likely to find jobs that pay a livable wage, live healthier lives and avoid the judicial system.
We Believe ...
a thriving community is where families have access to high quality, affordable childcare to ensure every child enters school prepared to learn.
