We are a local non-profit organization promoting self-sufficiency through our various programs. We offer the Head Start and Early Head Start programs and the training program so individuals can obtain a job in the child care education field.

Our Vision Statement is to strengthen families and nurture children. We accomplish this by promoting empowerment through our self-sufficiency programs.

Our programs are not fully funded by state and/or federal dollars; we are required to obtain local community support.  There are several ways you can help our programs. You can make a financial donation, donate material or volunteer in one of our locations. Donations can be professional services such as high school tutor, mental health services, dental services or medical services.  We also accept donated material:  infant and toddler diapers, infant wipes, children’s books, Band-Aids, hand soap, bedding for twin beds, and cleaning supplies.
