Multicultural Center

We provide quality care for children ages 4 wks thru 5 yrs old.

Choosing the right early learning environment is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At Multicultural Center, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. We are dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education that celebrates diversity, encourages curiosity, and supports the unique strengths of every child. Through meaningful relationships, engaging learning experiences, and strong partnerships with families, we help children build the confidence, skills, and sense of belonging that will support them throughout their lives. Our mission is to provide a safe, caring, and inclusive learning environment where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and develop to their fullest potential while celebrating the diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences that make each child unique. Our vision is to be a trusted early childhood learning community where every child feels valued, every family feels welcomed, and every culture is respected—preparing children to become confident, compassionate, and lifelong learners. We believe that children learn best in an environment that is secure, nurturing, and filled with opportunities for exploration and discovery. We recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of every child and embrace cultural and linguistic diversity as an essential part of learning. Through positive guidance, meaningful relationships, and developmentally appropriate experiences, we support children's social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and language development while fostering confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. This philosophy is directly aligned with the center's commitment to providing a caring, anti-bias, multicultural environment where every child can thrive.

Today, the flag at Multicultural Center flies at half-staff in honor of Dolly.

Some people leave a lasting impact not because of titles or recognition, but because of the lives they touched. Dolly gave so much of herself to children and families, and her years of care, kindness, and service will not be forgotten.

Children may not always remember every lesson we teach them, but they remember the people who made them feel safe, cared for, and loved. Dolly was one of those people.

Lowering our flag is a small gesture compared to the difference she made, but it is our way of saying thank you and honoring a life that meant so much to so many.

Our thoughts are with Dolly’s family, friends, and everyone whose life she touched.

Rest peacefully, Dolly. Your impact lives on through the children and families you served. ❤️

June 8th, 2026 marked the beginning of a new chapter for Multicultural Center.

First, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Deb Henthorn for 14 years of dedicated service to the children, families, and staff who have called this center home. Her commitment, leadership, and care helped create a strong foundation that has positively impacted countless lives.

We would also like to recognize the incredible team that has helped make this center successful. Childcare is important work, and every teacher, cook, assistant, and staff member plays a vital role in helping children learn, grow, and thrive. We are grateful for the dedication, compassion, and professionalism this team brings each day.

To the families who have trusted this center with their children, thank you. We understand that trust is earned, and we are committed to continuing the nurturing, safe, and welcoming environment that has been built over the years.

As new owners, our vision is simple: to build upon the strong foundation already in place while embracing the diverse cultures, backgrounds, and experiences that make our community special. We believe every child deserves to feel valued, respected, and supported as they grow.

We are excited for the journey ahead and look forward to partnering with our staff, families, and community as we continue serving children together.

Thank you for welcoming us into this next chapter.
