The Children’s Center fills the educational gap for our smallest clients and gives parents the peace of mind to focus on school or finding a job.  Without the program, parents would not have the opportunity to enroll in school or to secure employment.  The Center offers licensed daycare, preschool, and after school care programs for up to 80 infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children at a time.  The Center provides snacks, meals, care, and education.  To enroll a child, parent(s) must attend school, look for work, or be employed.
