Mission
Our mission statement is made up of three words: Serve, Love, Grow Serve - The best way to lead is by example. We serve the Lord, Staff, Parents & Children. Love - Our aim is to love every family and person right where they are. Grow - We implement lesson plans throughout every classroom to engage in continual growth of young minds.
Program accomplishments
- We care for children from several backgrounds. Many of them are from low income, working poor homes that often have only one parent. The majority of the children are funded by the Department of Economic Security and many are also placed with us by Child Protective Services, sometimes coming from parents who are involved with drugs or incarcerated for illegal activities. We are a childcare center and preschool based on Christian principles. Our intent is to make a difference in the lives of children placed in our care. We strive to be a positive influence in helping them grow into responsible citizens. We are licensed as a child care facility by the office of child care licensure, which is part of the Arizona Department of Health.Expenses $847,207 · grants $711,254 · revenue $1,092,136
