Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Child Day Care, Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Education, Preschools
Mission: Founded in 2018, Bright Beginnings Family Childcare is a nonprofit organization that offers excellent childcare and early learning services for low-income families in South Bend. We believe that regardless of one’s socioeconomic status, all parents deserve to know that their child is safe, happy, and healthy while they are away. We also know that low-income families often do not have access to high-quality childcare, experiences, or activities for their children. This is why we take it a step beyond just providing high-quality childcare and early education by specializing in providing extracurricular activities and experiences, extended hours, and other enrichments to care for the family in addition to the student. We are more than just a childcare center; we are an extension of the same love and care that parents offer their children at home.
Results: Bright Beginnings Childcare has served 235 low-income families since 2018. Currently, 83% of our families are impoverished. Without access to affordable childcare, families with children will likely remain in the cycle of poverty due to being unable to go to work, receive higher education, or provide for their families. With our services, struggling parents can go to work, school, appointments, and other activities that are allowing them to stay on the path of self-sustainability and flourishing, knowing that their child(ren) is flourishing academically, socially, and emotionally as well. Childcare is the work that empowers all other work by allowing parents to work while their children are benefiting from the quality care and education they are receiving with BBC.
