- 10 Year Overview
Families are most likely to settle in a community when basic needs are being met such as; home, school, and childcare. This stability brings revenue into the communities as families patronize local merchants and pay property taxes. Through early intervention such as our preschool and afterschool programs, at risk students are more likely to graduate from high school. By employing staff and using local vendors, Childs-pace continues to contribute to the community’s overall revenue base. In the last 10 years Childs-pace has generated more than $7,000,000.00 in the communities where it operates.
