OUR HISTORY

Hope Rises

We began our day care program in October 1990. We began as a small family child care home.

In the last 28+ years we have always supported the families we serve with a program format that provides stability for children to thrive, a commitment to our community by providing quality with standards that will keep children safe & healthy and the confidence in knowing our facility is always opened!

In 2017 our community was devastated by a county-wide firestorm and our home burned down. No longer able to operate as before we were issued a temporary waiver to operate in the home of another licensed provider. With our waiver expiration coming to end we were presented with an opportunity to open anew as a child care center.

As we negotiate all of the changes in our community, and bounce back personally and professionally from the devastation of the October 2017 Fires we continue to work tirelessly with licensing and the 4Cs to revise our business model without compromising our mission.

We re-opened April 2, 2018. Our center was created to fulfill a needed service in our community by serving infants 2mos-24mos.

We wanted to honor our community, our personal challenges as well as emphasize our determination to not let our recent hardship hold us back!

To demonstrate our perseverance we wrote a poem that will now be apart of our future and our new name.

Poem written by Cary Rich:
HOPE WILL ALWAYS RISE

We were broken but will continue to breathe
We were wounded but will continue to heal
We will pick up where we left off
We will move past the ashes left behind
So, the rubble that remains
Becomes the fire that guides our way
Our hope will always rise
Our hearts will always shine
