We also have staff who are fluent in Spanish.
“I work full time; to have this program to help me out is amazing, because child care is expensive. The Salvation Army is great and the staff is great. It’s been a good preparation for going into school. I know my daughter is safe, I know where she is and I know she’s taken care of. I call this peace of mind.”
