El Buen Pastor Early Childhood Development Center

The Center's goal is to provide children a rich and stimulating environment that enhances a child's unique and independent growth. The curriculum encourages and promotes physical, emotional and cognitive learning. Some low income households receive assistance with 57% or more of the average cost of their child care cost via scholarships. Income generated by the Center enables it to provide essential child care related services to the children of mostly single-parent and low-income households, thus enabling them to seek or keep jobs to provide a livelihood for their family's. The Center functions as a pre-kindergarten and after school care program. Approximately 40% of the children served were classified as near poverty, according to 2021 Federal poverty guidelines. Additionally, approximately, 61% of the children came from single parent homes. 241 days of care were provided to the children.
