Mission: Our mission is to serve communities of north texas by providing quality programs that foster the emotional, social and educational development of children, youth and families. We serve over 7000 children per year through enriching childcare services and after-school programs.
Programs: Licensed child care programs (school age): providing high quality state-licensed before and after school care and all-day holiday camps to approx. 2,600 children and their families per year. We provide a safe and structured environment for elementary-age children so that families can work or attend school. Financial aid scholarships are offered for weekly program fees to those in need, and no child is turned away due to inability to pay. Annual fundraising efforts help to support our financial assistance awards.
grant-funded afterschool programs: providing comprehensive on-campus afterschool experiences for approx. 3,700 youth each year. Programs are funded through school districts, crime prevention efforts, and state-wide 21st century community learning center awards. Children are targeted for the program based on high academic and social need. These programs are no-cost to families, and seek to assist in juvenile crime prevention and increasing math and literacy outcomes for students.
contracted childcare: providing special childcare and early learning opportunities to young children for community organizations seeking childcare services for their clients. We provide day, evening and weekend childcare services (for ages 3 months to 12 years) to two private recreational facilities, and two local non-profits. We also partner to operate an early childhood preschool daycare for the one safe place social justice center. (700 youth this year)
