PacificCare Child Care Resource & Referral Program
The Pacific Child and Family Enrichment Society was formed by a group of child care specialists who worked together formally and informally over a period of 15 years. In 1989 they formed a not for profit society that sponsors programs to provide support to parents and caregivers.
We believe that children are the future; and that child care lasts a lifetime.
Pacific Child and Family Enrichment Society believes the community has a responsibility to provide the best possible support to families. Families need access to information, resources, child care referrals, growth/bonding experiences, and a supportive network in order to improve and maintain a healthy family life.
