After years of prayer, planning, listening, and preparation, we are excited to share the next step for Release and the families we serve: the Release Trauma-Informed Childcare Center.
Shaped by the voices of foster parents, caregivers, and children in our community, this vision goes beyond a building project. Our goal is to meet families where they are and offer real, lasting support.

Announcing our Newest Addition
Opening scheduled for 2027.What will make this facility unique?
The Release Trauma-Informed Childcare Center will bring together high-quality early childhood education and trauma-informed care in one intentional setting.
Built with foster care families in mind, the center will provide safe, structured, and supportive care for up to 80 children. It will be designed for children who may need more consistency, more patience, more emotional support, and adults who understand how trauma can affect development and behavior. The center will:
- Provide high-quality early childhood education in a trauma-informed environment.
- Support children’s emotional, developmental, social, and relational growth.
- Create consistent routines that help children feel safe and secure.
- Equip staff to respond to behavior with understanding, structure, and care.
- Offer dependable support for foster parents, kinship caregivers, and families as they work, attend appointments, and care for their households.
- Create a place where healing and learning can happen together.
This is more than a childcare center. It is a place designed to help children grow, strengthen families, and give some of our community’s most vulnerable children the strong early foundation they deserve. It will be a place where children are known and families feel supported.
Who needs a Childcare Center?
For foster parents, kinship caregivers, and families caring for children who have experienced trauma, finding quality childcare can be one of the greatest barriers to stability.
Many young children in foster care have lived through disruption, loss, neglect, repeated transitions, or uncertainty. These experiences can affect how a child feels safe, builds trust, manages emotions, learns, communicates, and relates to others. Traditional child care settings are not always equipped to meet these needs.
At the same time, caregivers are balancing work, appointments, court requirements, family visits, school needs, and the demands of daily life. Without reliable, affordable, and informed care, families are stretched thinner and children who most need consistency can face even more disruption.
Release has heard this need again and again: families need child care that is safe, dependable, and prepared to support children who have experienced trauma.
Why is Release moving into early childhood education?
Early childhood is a crucial time in a child’s life. During these years, the brain grows quickly, laying the groundwork for learning, behavior, emotional health, communication, and relationships.
For children who have experienced trauma, this stage matters even more. A safe, consistent, and nurturing environment can help restore a sense of security and give children the support they need to grow, trust, and thrive.
That is why Release sees early childhood education as a natural extension of its mission. High-quality care is not only about preparing children for kindergarten. It is about helping children grow socially, emotionally, physically, and developmentally in an environment where they are understood and supported.
Investing in early childhood education means investing in better futures for children, families, and the whole community. For Release, this center is a way to support children during one of the most important stages of life while also giving caregivers the dependable support they need to keep their families stable.
