Mustard Seed

The Mustard Seed Golf Classic is May 21st, 2007 with a 1pm shotgun start and dinner afterwards. Official registration ended last week, but if you are in the valley and interested in participating or making a tax deductible donation to Mustard Seed call 509.679.1566. The entry fee is $100 per person. Below is some information about the Mustard Seed Neighborhood Center which I have shamelessly retyped from one of their pamphlets so if there's any errors, they're mine.

The Mustard Seed Neighborhood Center

The Mustard Seed Neighborhood Center is a place where kids are special. The Center is a nonprofit, tax-exempt childcare center in the greater Wenatchee area, which offers full time care and preschool. To help meet the childcare needs of low-income families, the Mustard Seed offers a scholarship plan. Preschool is offered at no extra charge every day because we believe in the importance of creative educational activities to build a foundation for entering school. Our emphasis is on promoting a positive sense of self-esteem for children and adults alike.

Mission Statement: Through faith and commitment, the Mustard Seed accepts the challenge to provide a safe, nurturing place where children can grow and have fun.

Children Served: The center is state licensed to serve up to 65 children ages 4 weeks through 12 years old. Lincoln School is walking distance from the Center so it is convenient for after school care for children. We also offer a full summer program for school age children, engaging them in community programs and area attractions, helping them to appreciate their valley through hands on environmental, cultural and recreational experiences. Our preschool program is designed to help children get ready for kindergarten through social interaction and creative activities. We offer age appropriate activities, which not only challenge children but also provide a sense of mastery.

Philosophy: The Mustard Seed was started as a Christian outreach in 1990 and appreciates the support of area churches, but no denominational material is taught. We believe in living out the love of God through our actions toward one another. The staff and Board all care a great deal about children and believe that every child should have a safe educational environment in which to grow. All staff members are required to hold current first aid/CPR and AIDS certificates. All volunteers and staff are required to submit to a criminal background check before having access to children
