It is much easier and cheaper to build a child than to rebuild a man.
Quality early child care for low income children has been shown to be the most effective way to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and crime.
Mission and Objectives
The Tyler Day Nursery is dedicated to the physical, mental, and social development of children who might otherwise be left in unsatisfactory circumstances without the opportunity for quality childcare and preschool education. Many of the parents of these “at risk” children could not remain employed or attend school and would be forced into seeking public assistance without the benefit of the Nursery.
Our goals are to provide:
- a healthy, safe, and caring environment for children.
- education for parents in childrearing and parenting techniques.
- a means by which the parents can remain in the work force with pride, dignity, and self-worth.
- a high quality program to give children a head start when entering school.
- medical, physical or psychological services, if needed, to correct problems before they become permanent disabilities.
