About Us

All Aboard!

In 2004, Child Care Junction was founded through Boone County Empowerment to address a key community need – quality child care. With extensive community support, the Goldthwaite Garvey Family Resource Center was built, housing Child Care Junction. In July 2007, Child Care Junction became an independent 501c3 non-profit organization. Attesting to Child Care Junction's history of community partnership, the Family Resource Center is also home to three other partnering organizations - Drake Head Start, Beckwith Adult Day Services, and Boone School District’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten classroom.

Child Care Junction is licensed to serve 124 children. We are committed to serving all families seeking quality care and education in our infant, toddler, preschool, and school age classrooms.

At Child Care Junction, we believe:

• Children are unique and special in their own way.
• Children develop and mature at individualized rates.
• Children should be allowed to express themselves and recognize their individual differences.
• Children learn best through active exploration and interaction with peers, adults, and environments.

Child Care Junction builds on its history of community collaboration to promote a community culture dedicated to early learning and quality care. With broad community support, Child Care Junction achieves the highest standards in accessible and affordable education and quality care for children and families. Over the next three years, our goal is to pursue quality through NAEYC's (National Association for the Education of Young Children) Self-Study process as well as apply for NAEYC Accreditation.
