The current economy makes it extremely difficult for working families who serve this community to send their children to extracurricular camps and Encourage Me Cares is bridging that gap. We want to serve the families who serve this community with a loving and engaging environment for their children to grow and learn in love.
Our mission of providing exceptional and affordable learning opportunities to children in our community comes as standards in education continue to plummet, and costs continue to rise across our county.
