About the Provider
Lincoln Childcare Center is the only non-profit that provides vital Quality Childcare to low-income families on a sliding scale. The need for the services we provide is great, because for many in the Fort Smith Area, affordable childcare does not exist. As a result, many small children are often left at home under the supervision of older siblings who should be in school. Worse yet, there are cases where these children are left alone at home.
