The Lynn Vanderhall Nursery Co-op 

The goal of FCA’s Lynn Vanderhall Nursery Co-op is to provide services to families residing in low-income communities. Children ages 2-5 are provided with childcare which includes experiences to prepare them for school by promoting social, emotional & cognitive growth. While children are safe, parents are working on goals of education employment, benefit eligibility, medical/mental health, substance abuse treatment housing & other identified needs. Without the childcare that the Nursey offers, parents with limited support systems find it almost impossible to attend job interviews, keep doctor appts, attend mental health counseling or improve their employability.

Many if not all our clients have limited resources and struggle financially. It is difficult for clients to work on long term goals when basic needs are limited and minimally met.

Your support will help FCA make a difference by enabling us to establish a richly educational and creative curriculum each month to meet the needs of the pre-school children. Some examples include celebrating holidays together with crafts, story time, food, focus on the arts by embracing music, dance, and literature.
