HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

Providing the resources and support so every family in our care and in our schools can thrive.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

As a foundation to our programs and services, these beliefs are the compass that guides us as we seek new ways to serve our community.

The assurance of human rights and human dignity are the key to improving the health and wellbeing of children and families in our community.

1

Health and wellbeing assure opportunity.

2

Opportunity should not be limited by means nor geography.

3

All children deserve every opportunity to be successful.

4

Health and preventive care, access to fresh and nutritious foods, quality early childhood experience and education, and safe neighborhoods inclusive of affordable housing are essential elements of a healthy community. We believe these to be human rights which are owed to all children, families, and individuals.

The Mary Francis Bachmann School

Our newest program, the Mary Francis Bachmann School will welcome its first students in the fall of 2023. Our experiential learning model for grades 1 through 12 will employ a hybrid learning model during our first year of operation as our permanent home at the former Dominican Monastery site on Lititz Pike in Manheim Township completes a full renovation. The hybrid model for the 2023-2024 school year will combine on-site/in-person, distance and experiential learning opportunities for each student throughout the year.
