MARY T. WELLCOME
CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER
Our community-based early childhood education center provides comprehensive high-quality services to children ages 16 months to five years old.
In three developmentally appropriate classrooms, we provide learning to foster cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development. Our low staff-to-child ratio allows teachers to get to know the students and their families and partner in each child’s development. This program is made accessible to the community through low-cost tuition, scholarships, and assistance.

ADULT EMPOWERMENT
Helping adults improve their lives and relationships.
HOPE FOR ADULTS
We empower women and men to advocate for themselves and learn conflict and stress management skills. Using asset-based techniques, support group participants develop a strong foundation and create support systems to meet life’s challenges. Our anger management and domestic violence programs are designed to help people live safely.
