Our Mission To empower parents and all caregivers in providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment in order to enable every child in Delaware County to reach his or her potential.

Our Value Statement   “Children are the future. Families make it happen.”  Providing a quality environment for the child can not be done in isolation. It has to be done within the context of the family. Children learn every day from their parents, caregivers, and their social environment. Children cannot be well cared for without learning and they cannot be educated well without being properly cared for. Increasing preventive health, nutrition, and mental health services can positively impact the physical and intellectual well being of children allowing them to maximize social, interpersonal, and educational skills, now and in the future.

Priorities Child care for special populations Programs which prevent or provide early intervention in child abuse and neglect  Improved community wellness and health care access for families  Lifelong learning opportunities  Coordination of service systems and improved support systems
