Moises Stansberry

History

The Stansberry Daycare Center opened its doors on June 10, 2001. In Spanish it is known as the "Guardaria Moises." It is dedicated to Moises Stansberry, an adopted child of the Stansberrys who was raised from infacy to adulthood at the Stansberry Children's Home. Moises passed away in a plane crash in 1997 at the age of 27 years.

Vision

The daycare was born of a desire to reach out to more children with struggling parents. Many single mothers or fathers wanted to place their children in an orphanage because they were not able to work and look after their children. They had no one to turn to.

The daycare today provides a way for these families to stay together and the children receive nourishing food. This includes breakfast, lunch and two snacks. The children also receive an education and most importantly learn of the love Jesus Christ has for each one.

Services are provided for the parents as well. Parent workshops and meetings give the parents instruction on such things as health, parenting skills, and finances, enabling them to better their way of life.

The daycare center currently has a capacity for 45 children in the first phase with the vision of gradually increasing to up to 100 children.

Support

Parents do pay a nominal fee for the daycare service, this does not cover all the expenses. The Daycare Center works together with an international program called PAN. They supply the dry goods as well as cover a portion of the salary for the educators. Other finances are provided by individuals and church organization around the world.
