Mission, Vision and Diversity Statement

The Early Childhood Resource Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System. The Health System is a beacon of hope devoted to healing and addressing the unmet needs of individuals, families, and communities through a network of innovative services.

Vision: The Early Childhood Resource Center is to be a leader, recognized for working together with community partners to ensure:

• Parents have the knowledge and resources to support their children’s healthy development;
• Children have access to high-quality early learning experiences staffed by educated professionals;
• Children begin school ready and eager to learn;
• Schools are ready to receive, educate, engage, and involve all children and families; and
• Communities and policymakers understand and actively support the development of young children. 

Commitment to Diversity: The Early Childhood Resource Center provides a welcoming atmosphere, inclusive of all people, that honors, respects, and celebrates everyone’s unique perspective. We encourage diversity and the sharing of thoughts and ideas to create a learning environment that is responsive to the needs of all young children and those who educate and care for them.
