Our mission is to provide relief to HIV- and AIDS-affected families with children. We do this by providing high-quality, developmentally appropriate child care to infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers.

Our small trained professional staff, supported by scores of volunteers allows the Center to accommodate up to 60 children - ages five weeks to five years - with an enriching curriculum designed to facilitate their cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development. Great emphasis is placed on preparing the child for full-time day care, Head Start, or kindergarten in a compassionate, non-discriminatory setting.

All services are provided free of charge.
