What makes EduCare unique?

Parent Education

EduCare understands that a child’s primary teacher in life is his/her parent. We work to reinforce and assist our children’s parents to fulfill this responsibility. EduCare is committed to working with community partners to provide educational experiences for our parents. These events are designed to help parents gain the tools necessary to see their child succeed in school and in life.
