At Country Home we take great pride in offering a distinctly innovative environment for our children.

Our children spend fun-filled days on the move participating in activities that stimulate their creativity and spur their imagination!!

Since our students have lots of planned activities, we know communication with our parents is important. Age-specific monthly Highlights showcase selected weekly curriculum activities. School-wide monthly newsletters notify parents of special events and other important information.

Our annual holiday Open House brings school and families together for a very special evening!

We keep our class groups small in order to promote individualized care and education.

APLC Day School began in 1989 as a two-day a week Mother's Day Out Program. Gradually in the next couple of years, we added new classes and formally changed our name to Abiding Presence Day School.  We have grown from a two day program serving 25 children to a four day a week program serving up to 80 children. In 1994, we achieved accreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), which includes standards of excellence in curriculum, staff-child interactions, parent participation, physical environment, staff qualifications and health and safety.

APLC Day School is one of ten ministries of Abiding Presence Lutheran Church. We are a non-profit, tax-exempt preschool with a Day School Board comprised of parents both church members and non-members. Parent participation is extremely important to the success of our program. We have two fundraisers a year which rely on parent volunteers for their success.

APLC Day School does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin with regard to hiring, admissions, administration of its educational policies, or its scholarship program. APLC Day School is willing to work with families of children with special learning and/or physical needs.

Wounded and Injured in the Line of Duty

When one of our Green Berets is wounded or injured in the line of duty, we send them and their family a $2,500 check and essential gear for a temporary hospital stay that is packed in a Special Forces-grade, durable, and versatile GORUCK GR1 backpack. These packs are generously donated by GORUCK, a Special Forces Veteran-owned business.

We ensure that key family members are at the soldier’s bedside. We provide financial support for family members’ travel not covered by the Army and support for other family needs such as child care, pet kenneling, and fuel cards. We will also help ship privately owned vehicles to the military treatment facility if required.

Casualty Support Process:

1. US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Care Coalition submits a Casualty Support request to the Green Beret Foundation.

2. Green Beret Foundation receives and reviews the request.

3. Green Beret Foundation sends a $2500 check in a rucksack filled with essential gear for a temporary hospital stay.

Understanding Foster Care

When children can’t safely live at home, the court can give temporary legal possession to Child Protective Services (CPS). CPS assigns a case worker to the children and then the immediate goal is to find a safe home for the children to live while the biological parents work to get their rights back.

These temporary places could be:

• Foster family homes
• Residential group care facilities
• Facilities overseen by another state agency

Foster care is meant to be temporary until the parents demonstrate they can safely care for their children. However, it can become permanent if the court determines parental rights should be terminated and the children become legally free for adoption.

Foster parents are typically the natural choice for the permanency provided through adoption. But it's an uncertain road that you must be prepared to travel.

1HOPE is Ready to Help

We see the need and we will partner with you to answer the call. Through 1HOPE’s training and verification of families, we can place children in your safe, loving home. Knowing that God “sets the lonely into families” (Psalm 68:6), 1HOPE feels called to provide foster care services to kids in crisis by:

• Recruiting, training, and verifying foster families
• Facilitating excellent matches of children and families
• Providing continuing education and support for foster families
• Helping develop care communities to support each 1HOPE foster family
• Assisting area churches in developing Foster/Adopt Ministries

Missional Opportunity

Foster families are, in effect, local missionaries. By accepting a child into their home, they also open their door to caseworkers, CASA volunteers, birth families, therapy team members, school teachers, medical professionals, and others.

They have the opportunity to share the tangible love of Christ in hurting places. By ministering as foster/adopt families, you are contributing to the sharing of the gospel of Jesus Christ -- the one HOPE of the world!

“My heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved”

At Gan Gani, we seek to create a stimulating and enriching educational environment for every child. The school is devoted to helping children learn socialization skills, building their self-confidence and teaching the preliminary skills to explore and experience the world independently from their parents. Our goal is to provide children with the early foundation and framework to prepare them for the transition to elementary school. In addition, we seek to ignite a spark in each child to lay claim to his Jewish heritage and commit him or her to a lifetime passion for learning.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

This program is for students at Oak Crest Elementary School.

The YWCA After School Program provides youth with activities and experiences that promote optimal growth and development at various school sites.
