Mi Casita Day Care Center, a bi-lingual/bi-cultural non-profit organization, which exists to provide quality early care and education to children and families residing in Camden County. Our primary purpose is to provide a wide range of enriching and learning activities in a nurturing and challenging environment.
PHILOSOPHY
Programmatically, the concepts of outreach, family support and community-based services are common denominator among most agency programs. At Mi Casita, a child's initial school experience is designed to meet their emotional, social, and intellectual needs based on the premise that all children come to school with knowledge, curiosity, readiness to learn and explore their environment. We strongly believe that individual and cultural differences are to be respected, valued and nurtured while recognizing that we all share common links to humanity.
HISTORY
A group of concerned citizens met in early 1970 to discuss the idea of establishing a child care center for the purpose of providing services primarily to the Hispanic families and families from moderate to low income house-holds residing in Camden County. In December 1971, a proposal was submitted to the State of New Jersey, Department of Human Services. The proposal was approved and Mi Casita became the first Day Care Center licensed in the State of New Jersey as a bi-lingual/bi-cultural program.
