About Hour Children:
Hour Children’s mission is to help incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and their children successfully rejoin the community, reunify with their families, and build healthy, independent, and secure lives. To accomplish this, Hour Children provides compassionate and comprehensive services and encourages all to live and interact with dignity and respect. Hour Early Learning Program aims to provide an affordable, high quality, highly stimulating environment for children who range in age from 3 months to 4 years. The Program accommodates families from Hour Children, as well as the local community. Our current license allows for 30 children. Hour Children is committed to developing the potential of this essential resource, with the expectation of meaningful program growth (in enrollment and space) over the next 2-4 years.
