Description: Educare Oklahoma City opened its doors in July 2009, to serve 200 disadvantaged children, ages birth to five years old, with year-round early childhood education programs. Educare Schools, throughout the nation, help young children grow up safe, healthy and eager to learn, providing the highest quality outcome-based learning environments for families and their children who are at-risk for school failure.
Educare Oklahoma City was created through a partnership among Inasmuch Foundation, Sunbeam Family Services, Inc., Community Action Agency of Oklahoma and Canadian Counties, Oklahoma City Public Schools and the United Way of Central Oklahoma. Through this partnership, and generous contributions from the community, construction began for the site of Oklahoma City's first Educare.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
