Our Commitment
We serve families from all income levels, races, national origins, genders, religions, ages, disabilities, political beliefs, sexual orientations, and marital or family statuses.
Our Center participates in the Child and Adult Food Program administered by the State Department of Education School Lunch section. By participating in this program, we ensure meals are available to all children in attendance at mealtime regardless of race, color, national origin, or ability to pay.
During the summer months, we offer a primarily recreational program. Activities include swimming (weather permitting), field trips, walks, visits to parks, picnics, arts and crafts, and weekly visits to the public library and nursing homes.
