What is the mission of the Caring for Kids Initiative (CfKI)?
Every citizen in our community is aware of the importance of access to affordable and quality care for all our children between birth and the age of five.
A Scholarship Fund is established to provide quality childcare to low-income families. (First Year Goal: $500,000 for 50 children).
A community-wide model is developed that makes parent support and early childhood development education accessible to low-income families and links families and children with other resources that promote family stability.
Who is sponsoring the Caring for Kids Initiative?
