Bringing hope to families

HOPE: WRCCC brings hope to families who can return to the workforce or school knowing their children are in a safe, loving, educationally challenging environment. Their children are being prepared with the soft skills, academics and self-confidence needed to succeed in elementary school and the rest of their lives.

VALUES: The center teaches children about character and the value of honesty, kindness, sharing, love of family and community. Students in the three oldest classes are introduced to Bible stories by a volunteer, who also ties countries that make up the Holy Lands to the daily news and stories that appear throughout Western literature

SUCCESS: Parents leave for work or school knowing that not only are their children safe but they are also in a loving, educationally challenging program that will jumpstart their children to enter kindergarten with important soft skills, academic skills, and the confidence that they can succeed.
