The current economy makes it extremely difficult for working families to afford private education & extracurricular learning opportunities for children. Encourage Me Cares is bridging that gap.
We aim to serve working families right here in West Palm Beach. We give children the opportunity to learn in spaces where passion, presence, and persistence fill a void that traditional education has left empty.
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 not only our state but the country.
QUICK FACTS
