MWPCCC is a community-based, non-profit organization whose mission is to create, manage, and sustain developmentally appropriate, high quality, available, culturally-sensitive pre-school, childcare, and family support services. We support families with young children and infants. We prepare children for kindergarten and a lifetime of learning by offering them an emergent curriculum, nurturing staff, and a commitment to children's social well-being in an environment that respects and celebrates diversity. Our target population is an economically and ethnically diverse group of children. We are committed to serving as many low-income/subsidized children as possible, and in fact, often we have absorbed those costs in order to make sure that that we do not turn families for lack of funds.
