A Community Need…A Community Solution
Thanks to the generosity and vision of our friends in the community, the Childcare Resources Education Center opened its doors in September 2010. Located on the campus of Trinity Episcopal Church in Vero Beach, the Education Center provides affordable, quality childcare and early education for 53 infants, toddlers and preschoolers of income eligible working families. We continue to contract with accredited childcare centers in the community. In 2010-2011, we served 96 children.
