Saguache Early Childhood Education Project

NOON is partnering with the Saguache Child Care Council in order to establish access to high quality childcare and early childhood education for Saguache area families. This program will renovate the historic Saguache Headstart building, built in 1901 as the Mexican Presbyterian Church, as a licensed childcare facility and cultural center and develop a curriculum for early childhood education with an arts and cultural preservation focus.
