Mission Statement
Cornerstone Center for Early Learning provides high-quality, affordable, comprehensive care and education for children while following a Constructivist philosophy that governs all aspects of operation. As a nonprofit, United Way agency, the Center enables parents to enter or remain in the workforce, or to seek higher education. Cornerstone Center encourages the development of all people within its sphere, promoting the autonomy, creativity, and initiative of children, staff, and family members.
About This Cause
Cornerstone Center was founded in 1969 and is the first accredited early learning center in the city of St. Louis. Because of its location and award-winning, quality care, we serve a wide variety of populations. Nearly 50% of our families get by on an annual household income of $20,000 or less a year. Almost 60% of our children come from single-parent homes; 6% of our children are in the foster care system, and that number does not include children who are raised by guardians who are not their parents. Every day, 150 students (ages 6 weeks to pre-kindergarten entry) come to Cornerstone Center. During their day (some children are here for our full 11.5 hours), they receive two well-balanced meals, infant formula, snack, diapers and wipes, health and developmental screenings, developmental and speech therapies, and classroom counseling AT NO ADDITIONAL COST to their family. Why do we do this? It is our goal at Cornerstone to lighten the financial burden our families face and allow all parents and guardians to remain in the workforce or pursue additional education without worrying about their child’s well-being.
